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.

My favorite saying right now is “life is messy.” There’s so much weight that lives inside those three words: emotions, questions, uncertainty, especially for those of us who wander, wondering what our purpose is, who we are, and why life hasn’t met our expectations. Maybe we feel like there must be more to this and that life shouldn’t be this messy. The emotions around it are elevated when it’s...
