Benefit finding is defined as “the positive effects that result from a traumatic event.” It is the process of deriving growth from adversity, and it has become a central construct in the evolution of positive psychology.

In general, research has revealed positive long-term effects of benefit finding. For instance, some individuals report a new appreciation of their own strength and resilience, an enhanced sense of purpose, greater spirituality, closer ties with others, and changes in life priorities

This exercise is geared towards those who would like to improve their resilience.
