Thank you so much for reading and commenting, JennRose. Deeply moved by your experiences. Positive Disintegration offers a framework that sheds light on the areas of life you’ve shared here.

I find this to be a beautiful summation, Lil. I admire your skill in distilling the theory. The bullet point format feels accessible, and not dry at all. A warm and useful article.
I stumbled upon it a year and change ago, but didn't read it until earlier this year. This is a great summary of it. Anyone this resonates with should check out Dąbrowski's book. It's short, just 132 pages, and pretty accessible, especially if you have this post under your belt.

So glad to read your comment Cary. Great point that moments of growth don’t have to be terrible. Yes reading as much as possible about TPD from different authors, and from the man himself is wise. I love reading stories about exemplars of TPD and find it a fascinating lens through which to view the past, present and future in my own life🌟🌸🧡
