The purpose of this study was to determine whether emotional trauma can stimulate growth in an individual irrespective of one’s age. A survey research design was utilized to carry out this study using the PTGI (post traumatic growth inventory). Findings indicate no relation between age and growth post trauma indicating that emotional maturity can take place at any time irrespective of age and we can say that PTG leads to wellbeing, the degree of well-being though still cannot be inferred.
