Show Notes:

In the fifth show in the Out Of The Deep End podcast, we take a look at the life of Eric Clapton and how his music is evidence of post traumatic growth. We start with his early life and being abandoned by his mother and move to the difficult rejection by English model and muse, Pattie Boyd. The show discusses how these experiences contributed to his music, as did the death of his son Conor and the writing of his famous song, Tears In Heaven.

The show also looks at the difference between resiliency and post traumatic growth and what factors predict post traumatic growth and how research performed on cancer patients help us understand how trauma changes survivors.
