Surviving or Thriving? Positive Psychology Skills For Life

Synopsis

This training explores a range of positive psychology skills and techniques to help promote wellbeing and decrease psychological distress, which can be particularly helpful during challenging times or when facing confrontational experiences. In our busy lives, we can often find ourselves on emotionally fatigued, at the edge of burnout, or generally feeling ‘stuck’- somewhere between not thriving and suffering, yet not quite at a clinical level of distress that feels worthy of healthcare professional support.

Outcomes

• Learn positive psychology skills to promote psychological wellbeing.
• Understand how to apply these skills using reflective tasks.
• Explore strategies to flourish and move away from languishing during difficult times.
• Understand the value of challenging the inner critic and the ‘shoulds’ it can impose.
• Explore ways to find joy, meaning and purposeful, create a more positive affect for better wellbeing and build authentic connections with others.

Suitable for

The aim of this training is to help individuals reboot and re-energise by exploring and identifying their core values, and in the process find ‘Ikagai’, the Japanese concept of ‘reason for being’ which is strong among thriving individuals. The wellbeing tools and interactive, reflective segments in this training help attendees create more positive affect by supporting them to more deliberately align their actions with their core values, and in the process begin to find more flow and enrich their experience with more purpose and meaning.
