Yes, and sometimes people can't "grow" from the trauma. Sometimes you just have to adjust. If you lose your leg in a terrible accident, part of coping is to learn to live without the leg.

Trauma changes people, and while you can often become well again after a trauma, you will never be quite the same as you were previously. Trauma leaves scars. Sometimes you have to figure out a way to improve the quality of your life as it is NOW regardless of the past.
