Post-traumatic growth is real, measurable, and achievable, but it requires a different approach than symptom management alone. Coach Rob Wheeler, who has lived the story of addiction, loss, and identity collapse and rebuilt from the ground up, explains why purpose accelerates recovery faster than any clinical protocol and why coaches who have walked the path reach people that credentialed therapists sometimes cannot. This conversation is for anyone rebuilding after a life they no longer recognize.
