The Vase = Your life before the trauma

Taking the vase and shattering it on the ground = The trauma

The recognition that everything is shattered and the attempt to put that vase back together the way it was = Post Traumatic Stress 

The idea or the argument that it shouldn’t have happened and the vase should go back to the way it was and trying to pick up the pieces and place them exactly how they were before is impossible. 

When you think about taking all of those pieces from the vase and making a new mosaic, making a new experience that is as beautiful because it has all the same ingredients and is even stronger afterwards is Post Traumatic Growth.

If you have experienced trauma in your life and believe your life will go back to the way it was before, you will constantly be searching for something that no longer exists. Being able to process through the emotions of the shattering trauma is 100% necessary and will be ongoing.

The ability to create a new life for yourself that has the same foundation and maybe an even stronger and more resilient mindset will allow for growth moving forward. You get to choose to build the new and even more amazing vase as long as you manage your mind.

 When you put the pieces of the vase back together, they won't necessarily be in the same place or look exactly like they did before and that's okay. You are using a new bonding agent to place the pieces back together to create a stronger and more beautiful vase than the original. And that is the new mindset.
