Post Traumatic Thriving - Dr. Randall Bell

The paradox of trauma is that it has both the power to destroy and the power to transform and resurrect’  –  Peter A Levine,  

Every one of us has experienced trauma in some form in our lives. The question is ‘do we let ourselves be defined by that trauma or can we transform that pain into a force that can accomplish good in our world?’   

Dr. Randall Bell is an economist and sociologist who has seen firsthand the effects of trauma as a consultant on major disasters worldwide, including the largest climate, environmental and terrorist cases, such as Hurricane Katrina, the Bikini Atoll nuclear test site, and the 911 destruction of the World Trade Center. From these experiences and ten years of research, has come his book, Post–Traumatic Thriving: The Art, Science and Stories of Resilience. 

 His book relates stories of people who were able to use energy generated by working through their traumas to propel them to achieve  great things. Dr. Bell sets out a three stage process (Dive, Survive and Thrive) through which survivors can emerge healed, whole and able to thrive.

The sequel to that book COMMITTED: A MEMOIR OF MADNESS IN THE FAMILY (SheWritesPress, May 2021) chronicles her struggles to stay sane while serving as primary caregiver to both her mom and sister who continue to battle their mental illnesses.

 

How to Authentically Cope with HOPE! Lisa Leshko Evers

Lisa Leshko Evers, MA, BSN, RN has enjoyed 35 years of nursing practice with a focus in Emergency Nursing and Addiction Medicine. When the FDA approved opioids for children (ages 11-17), she began asking new questions about pain and listening deeply. After years of study, “Comfort Quest” was born- a transformative, hopeful lens through which pain is viewed as a healing messenger (no longer the enemy).

As a veteran herself (retiring after 32 years from the Coast Guard Reserve), Lisa seeks to use this tool/ program to also help other veterans struggling with pain and has partnered with her community to resurrect hope, empower healing, & decrease suicides. To relax & rebalance her own body/ mind/ spirit, Lisa enjoys digging in her garden, repurposing found items, and spending quality time with family (locally in FL and in New England)
