When it takes a "Psychology Professor" to prove to others that Trauma does NOT give Growth

While it's a long lecture, he basically breaks it down into Scientific and Psychological Terms and explains how Trauma is completely destructive, and proves how it does not offer any kind of growth. Essentially, he explains how it's a completely oxymoronic idea and expression. But perhaps what is most interesting is also the part about the discussion where he discusses the Integration of Internal and External factors about how Trauma or Anxiety and other things align (or don't) with an Individual's beliefs or values in where they see it as growth, is correlated with Narcissism. And I agree with that 100%. It's truly amazing how much that people out there, largely belief that Pain, Trauma and Suffering give "growth". I do wonder if Sam Vaknin knows that a lot of the ideological garbage that promotes the notion...
