"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" needs to die out because that's not how trauma works. You never recover full strength in a broken bone, never become fully cured of PTSD.

    But you also learn how to handle pain be it physical or mental. It gives you a new perspective that helps you to handle difficult situations in the future. There's obviously a point where you're just fucked, but up til then there's more of a trade off.

    People tend to make that claim when they are adding pain to your life, as is the case with punishment. Life is painful enough to teach this lesson without anyone adding more.

    I've not heard it used that way. In my experience it's after something bad happens to someone or they're going through some shit in an effort to reassure them that whatever is going on will pass and they'll at least gain some mental strength from it. Maybe it doesn't help at the time but looking back on stuff that's happened to me it is a true statement.
