Description
Vida Mirabolfathi and co-authors test the thinking mechanisms that link post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth in breast cancer survivors in a 2025 paper. Growth after trauma can ease adaptation to survivorship, but stress and growth often pull apart.
Two questionnaire studies each enrolled over one hundred women. The first tested interpretation bias: women who read ambiguous events more positively showed a different stress-to-growth pattern, shaped by how sound they felt their own thinking was. The second tested cognitive restructuring of the trauma, again explaining part of the stress-growth link, with deliberate rumination steering the effect. In both studies stress related negatively to growth. The authors map mental levers that therapy might target.
