Thursdays from 6:30pm-7:30pm (WW) Starting Soon!

Positive psychology is a field of psychology that focuses on promoting well-being, happiness, and positive emotions. It builds upon strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses and employs specific techniques that improve mood and sense of well-being.

In this group, you will have a chance to focus on everything that is “right” about you. We will get a comprehensive assessment of your unique strengths and abilities and then discuss how to use these to enhance any one of a number of domains, like work, health, relationships, or career. We will learn about what research tells us about the science of happiness and how that applies to our lives. We will get a baseline measurement of our happiness and then monitor changes as we learn and practice positive psychology techniques.

Why positive psychology? In recent years, researchers have found that incorporating positive psychology techniques into addiction treatment is correlated with positive outcomes. Building on our positive qualities gives us a greater sense of control over our lives and helps us to develop the skills needed to achieve our goals. Positive psychology interventions reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve our overall mental health and well-being, and play an important role in promoting long-term recovery from addiction.
