Mellissa Fung and Post-traumatic Growth
Nearly three years after she made headlines as a Taliban kidnap victim in Afghanistan, Mellissa Fung is tired of talking about her 28-day nightmare and anxious to get back to doing what she likes best: overseas reporting. But the CBC is keeping her close to home. That may be a mistake, speculates an expert on “positive psychology,” because her ordeal may have made her a better reporter.
