      That… doesn’t describe what is being talked about, though. The post discusses a moment of such positivity it radiates out into the rest of your life, much like trauma does from a traumatic event. Your wiki describes a positive psychological change after a period of intense trauma.

        Indeed, it is not what OP described.

        Post-traumatic growth is not

        • positivity -> positivity

        nor

        • negativity -> negativity

        but rather

        • negativity -> positivity.

        Ironic, isn’t it? How can positivity come out of negativity?
