In this episode, Peta defines what is post traumatic growth; likening it to the Japanese practice of Kintsugi, whereby something broken can acquire new beauty. She also explains the difference between post traumatic growth and PTSD and highlights the five signs that post traumatic growth has occurred. Importantly, Peta also provides pointers for leaders to help staff respond to trauma and uncertainty post pandemic.

In this episode, Peta dives further into the topic of how to be happier. She explores the vital importance of investing in human relationships, the Japanese concept of Ma—a pause in time to focus on the small hum of life, and how it is indeed possible for our levels of happiness to be robustly raised by employing an ‘Attitude of Gratitude’.

Over the next two episodes, Peta talks about what it means to cultivate happiness. What makes you get out of bed every day? What do you want to put your whole self into? Exploring what gives you meaning takes time, it’s not a set and forget exercise. But given October is Mental Health Month, the timing is right to start ‘putting in’ and seize hold of your ikigai.
