Positive Psychology
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’ll have a chance to focus on everything that is “right” about you. We’ll get a comprehensive assessment of your unique strengths and abilities and then discuss how to use these to enhance specific aspects of life such as work, health, relationships, or career. You’ll hear what research tells us about the science of happiness and how it applies to our lives. We will get a baseline measurement of your 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 your positive qualities can give you a greater sense of control over your life and help you develop the skills needed to achieve your goals. Positive psychology interventions reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve overall mental health and well-being, and play an important role in promoting long-term recovery from addiction.
