Positive psychology
Positive Psychology emphasizes our positive personality traits and circumstances to support our development and help us build a fulfilling, rewarding, and happy life.
In psychotherapy, Positive Psychology shifts focus toward our strengths and advantages to serve as a source of courage and optimism for helping us flourish despite our hardships.
So, in collaboration with our therapist, we focus on:
- Positive experiences
- Positive emotions and individual traits
- Positive institutions (for families, groups, communities)
Meanwhile, we don’t ignore the negative aspects of our existence and life experience. Instead, we explore how to use them positively to achieve our therapeutic goals.
In short, we ask, “What’s great about me and my life?” “What do I like?” and “What am I good at?” and use the answers as our starting point toward a life of prosperity, growth, and meaning.
