3 CORE PILLARS OF MENTAL WELLNESS
THE KRYPTIC FOUNDATION
POST TRAUMATIC GROWTH
Post-traumatic growth refers to the positive psychological changes that individuals may experience as a result of coping with and adapting to significant adversity, struggle, hardship, or trauma. Instead of being solely defined by the negative effects of trauma, individuals emerge from difficult experiences with newfound strengths, insights, and personal growth. These changes can include a greater appreciation for life, identification of new opportunities and possibilities, improved relationships, a deeper sense of personal strength, and a shift in priorities or life philosophy. Post-traumatic growth highlights a human capacity beyond resilience, which may be summarized as an ability to rapidly recover, or a resistance to adversity. Post-traumatic growth is a new level of functioning and perspective—beyond what existed prior to a traumatic event—inciting a new way of living in response to adversity, emphasizing the potential for meaningful growth and transformation following challenging life events.
SELF-REGULATION
Self-regulation refers to the ability to manage and control one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to achieve desired outcomes or adapt to different situations. It involves being aware of one's internal states, impulses, and reactions, and being able to regulate them effectively. Self-regulation encompasses various physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral practices and processes, resulting from self-awareness, an understanding of the effects off trauma on the senses, an awareness of "triggers", and action plans enabling impulse control, the application of logic to emotion, attentional control, intentionality, positive methods of disconnection, and grounding. Individuals with strong self-regulation skills are better equipped to resist temptations, delay gratification, stay focused on tasks, cope with stress, and maintain balance in their lives. Developing self-regulation is essential for achieving personal growth, as well as for overall well-being and success in various domains of life.
IDENTITY RECOGNITION & DEVELOPMENT
Identity recognition and development refers to the process of understanding, defining, and evolving one's sense of self over time. This involves recognizing and embracing the various aspects that contribute to one's identity, including cultural background, values, beliefs, interests, personality traits, life experiences, and aspirations.
Recognition entails acknowledging and accepting who we are, including our strengths, weaknesses, and unique qualities. Development involves actively exploring, shaping, and evolving our identity through self-reflection, exploration, and growth experiences. This process can involve questioning assumptions, exploring new interests, seeking out diverse perspectives, and engaging in personal and professional development activities.
Identity recognition and development are ongoing processes that occur throughout life as individuals navigate different stages, roles, and experiences. By actively engaging in this process, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self-awareness, authenticity, and alignment with their values, ultimately leading to greater fulfillment and well-being.
