Course Description
This course provides participants with a comprehensive, cutting-edge framework for leveraging positive emotion strategies to significantly enhance resilience and well-being. Moving beyond a focus on reducing negative emotions, this training illuminates the novel power of cultivating positive emotions as a proactive, resource-building approach to mental health. Participants will explore core techniques including positive reappraisal, learning the science behind how to best think of stress differently. The course will differentiate between maladaptive avoidance and adaptive positive distraction, presenting it as a powerful method for replenishing emotional resources.
