Abstract
This study examines how self-transcendence fosters posttraumatic growth (PTG) through spirit-mind-body integrated awareness (SMBI) and identity integration in individuals exposed to interpersonal trauma. Using a mixed-methods design, we propose to test a serial mediation model, integrating holistic and psychological constructs to better understand mechanisms of healing after trauma.
