The people who feel like being smart and talented can make you feel frozen...There are so many thoughts and running in your head that it's hard to act. How do you know which voice is yours and which voices are distractions from thoughts and opinions of others? How do you know the right things to do and the right moves to make when there's so much going on? And when you do know, how do you actually execute? How do you get it out of your head and make it happen in real life? If you can relate, contact me now.

Ideally, for my telehealth practice, I would like to limit it to clients struggling with addiction and compulsive disorders, military life conflicts and trauma, and things such as near-death experiences, paranormal/synchronistic encounters, and other things that might be disturbing on some level, but are often not discussed in therapy because of fear of being ridiculed, pathologized, and the experience being dismissed. All of the above can generate levels of depression, anxiety, self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-sabotaging behaviors affecting relationships, and quality of life - and so are essential things to explore.

Positive Psychology Therapists

How does positive psychology therapy work?

Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.

When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?

If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviors differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?

The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.

Is positive psychology effective in therapy?

Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
