What is Positive Psychology?

Home » Treatment Therapies » Positive Psychology » Page 151

Positive Psychology focuses on the positive influences in the client’s life, such as institutions, optimistic emotions, and character strengths.

Positive Psychology therapists believe that emotional and mental factors lead to happiness, so they help clients identify happiness from moment to moment.

Positive Psychology utilizes positive emotion, engagement, and meaning to enhance the client’s life. The therapist will ask the client to maintain a journal of positive experiences each day in detail. Keeping a gratitude journal helps rewire the brain, offsetting ruminations of negativity. The client becomes more attentive to their expectations and memories of events, creating a more balanced perspective.

Walking into a counselor's office can be a difficult first step to problem resolution. I begin by having the client describe the immediate issue and some background. Then, we set goals and methods-some of which are concrete, e.g., developing a habit of exercise and modes of coping. Addressing relationship issues is often simply a matter of helping an individual ask him or herself, "What do I ne...
