George Bonanno reframes trauma by showing why it can’t be understood in isolation. Resilience is the missing half of the story. He explains how most people recover without lasting damage, why resilience is a flexible outcome rather than a fixed trait, and how fear-based narratives around trauma often prolong suffering. With insights on adaptive coping, storytelling, and the cultural myths that distort our understanding, this conversation offers a more complete, empowering view of how we respond to adversity.
