    That… doesn’t describe what is being talked about, though. The post discusses a moment of such positivity it radiates out into the rest of your life, much like trauma does from a traumatic event. Your wiki describes a positive psychological change after a period of intense trauma.

      Indeed, it is not what OP described.

      Post-traumatic growth is not

      • positivity -> positivity

      nor

      • negativity -> negativity

      but rather

      • negativity -> positivity.

      Ironic, isn’t it? How can positivity come out of negativity?
