Crises and traumas change our lives. We talk about Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, but did you know they can also change us for the better? There is also a Post traumatic Stress Growth Syndrome. Many people come out of crises stronger and more resilient, and have learned many new life skills.

When people talk about a crisis they've weathered here are some of the things they say have resulted.

1. Change in priorities.

It's common after you go through a crisis to look at things differently. One thing it often does is show us how fragile life is. If we have lost someone, or nearly lost our own life, or something important, we take a look at our lives and figure out what really matters. You also have a different relationship with time.

2. Dealing with emotions differently.

You tend to come out of a crisis being more willing to express your motions, and to understand those of others, and relate with more compassion. Crises often extend our awareness of our emotions because we're flooded with so many, and trying to sort through them all teaches us new levels. It raises our tolerance threshold.

At the same time, we understand the importance of listening to others. To know pain and suffering means you can understand these in others better. Many counselors, coaches and therapists have gone through some sort of trauma. This is one way in which they become such a good listeners.

3. Resilience.

Weathering a storm teaches you a lot about weathering storms. The next time something comes along, you can look back on the skills you used to get you through the last one. You can also learn from your mistakes. Just as a sailor's skills aren't really tested in the harbor, we learn new things when we're tested. You find out you are stronger than you ever thought possible.

4. Draw closer to people and understand community.

You find in a crisis how wonderful people can be. Some people may let you down, but others will come forward.
