About Jeff Depatie

Primary topics:

• Post-traumatic Growth.

  • We often interpret darkness as a curse but our adversity, when seen in a different light, may contain unseen solutions to our lives. He is currently producing a ground breaking documentary on this controversial topic of post-traumatic growth called “Dark Night of Our Soul.”

• The Art of Adversity.

  • Navigating life’s adversity is both a science and an art form. It’s effects and processes can be observed, repeated, and studied through the disciplines of neuroscience, psychology, and human behavior. It’s also an art form in that there is no right or true way to navigate our setbacks. No one way to take the images, emotions, and sensations from the past to life a life that liberates rather than oppresses.
