Positive Psychology - Make Life Worth living

admin — Sun, 02 May 2010 10:05:54 +0000

Positive psychology is about achieving the things that make life worth living. It is a science which focuses on the achievement of happiness, life satisfaction, well being, and maximal participation in processes which support creativity, meaning, hope, future-orientation, autonomy, and self-regulation. It is about individual subjective experience, traits and actions as well as family, community and workplace structures and practices. It is the study of how the individual and institutions interact and synergise to create flow and peak experience.

Whilst we know a great deal about how human beings survive adversity, and we know much about how to work with pathology and how to heal; our knowledge of the science of well being, health and happiness, is less well developed. Theories of “flow” or peak experience have been advanced for quite some time, but traditionally, western human scientists have operated from problem saturation, rather than from a preventative, positive future orientation. We have been less rigorous in our study of how, why and when individuals thrive and flourish.

Information on Managing Depression

What is depression?

Most people use the term loosely to mean sad or down, upset or disappointed. Whilst these feelings certainly can impact relationships and performance at school or work for a period of time, they are not what psychiatrists, GPs, or psychologists prefer to as clinical depression.

Clinical depression, a negative mood state, has that has emotional, physical and thinking aspects which do persist for longer period of time and has significant negative effect on daily life. Clinical depression is to be distinguished from grief such as we experience in response to bereavement; even though the symptoms are similar they are a response to a specific and identifiable loss and is part of a natural, albeit painful, adjustment to a new life with new opportunities for growth. Depression, by contrast is a poor road to adjustment often serve to keep people stuck, rather than enabling adjustment and growth.

Unfortunately, last week the owners of IndigoHouse decided to close effective from 21 December 2007, and so I wish to advise that I will be working from a new space upstairs at Room 2b Professional Centre Merthyr Village from 1 January 2008. My new address is not so far from Indigo House and quite easy to find, and the parking is free, undercover and plentiful.

The space will be most welcoming and pleasant for us to work in, but I understand that change is an issue for us all at times. I apologise for any inconvenience or confusion which may result from this very short notice; but life often falls outside of our controls. I am available as above, to answer any questions you might have. See Maps on second page. We will talk soon at the new address. TAKE CARE.
