The session will be devoted to an integrative cognitive-existential-narrative theoretical basis and intervention strategy to facilitate PTG. This intervention strategy has been labeled an "Expert Companionship" model for working with trauma survivors. Using this perspective in working with trauma survivors facilitates personal development beyond the reduction of symptoms and helps trauma survivors learn to use their difficult life experiences as a means for living a more rewarding and fulfilling life. A novel intervention approach like Expert Companionship is important due to the recognition that standard interventions for PTSD have important limitations. This posttraumatic growth-based approach shows promise for addressing these limitations.
