Friday, August 15, 2025, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM, A Live Webinar

In the last few decades, positive psychology and positive psychotherapy has been investigating and deploying transdiagnostic processes to improve happiness and well-being above and beyond simply decreasing pathology. By the end of this case-based, practical, and highly experiential workshop, attendees will be able to explain Seligman’s PERMA definition of well-being and happiness, as well as related concepts, such as resilience and growth mindset, have sampled exercises to help identify, practice, and enhance character strengths and virtues, and be able to use them to improve mood and bolster CBT. In addition, attendees will be able to explain how positive emotions are affected by met and unmet needs, perform an exercise to identify and target need imbalances, as well as barriers to need satisfaction and use at least 3 other common tools in positive psychotherapy.
