Summary
Many people who have had traumatic experiences go on to make positive changes in their lives. This is not a denial of the negative impacts of trauma and can offer hope for survivors.
Our study is trying to understand what helps young adults who have experienced repeated trauma in early relationships (called complex trauma) grow and change in positive ways (called posttraumatic growth). Namely, this research is interested in understanding how talking therapies may contribute to posttraumatic growth. We are hoping to build a model of this process, which could help to improve services for people in the future.
Participants will attend an online interview with a researcher (who is a clinical psychologist in training). You’ll be asked questions about your experiences of trauma, mental health support and posttraumatic growth.
To express interest in this project please complete the screening questionnaire.
