The story of Surthriving
What does "Surthriving" mean?
Surthriving (pronounced sir-thrive-ing) is more than just a term to spark questions; it stems from Dr. Angela's lifetime of lived experiences, leading to a philosophy that acknowledges adversity as an integral part of life. At times, we may face challenges that leave us feeling ill-equipped to cope, struggling to just survive the day. Other days, we may feel at the peak of our performance, truly thriving in our lives. The concept of 'surthriving' encompasses both surviving and thriving, representing a continuum that ebbs and flows throughout our experiences. By engaging in evidence-based treatment, ongoing reflection, authentic connection, courage, and adopting a growth mindset, we begin to realize that, much like the legendary Phoenix, significant changes and new beginnings can emerge after periods of struggle. These transformations often arise from the challenges we face, helping us to not just survive but to thrive because of our experiences.
