Positive Psychology!

Hello to, All My Readers, Followers and Blogging Friends ❤


Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as much as possible. And “Keeping yourself Positive and Motivated as Best as possible in these times” of Health issues. I have been writing about Various ways of Therapies to Become Well” And after I wrote about The Therapies itself, and Today “I am writing about Positive psychology” 🙂 

Positive psychology is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living, focusing on both individual and societal well-being. It studies “positive subjective experience, positive individual traits, and positive institutions…it aims to improve quality of life.” It is a field of study that has been growing steadily throughout the years as individuals and researchers look for common ground on better well-being.

Basic concepts

Positive psychology is concerned with a Greek word meaning “good spirit”. It is considered an essential element for the pursuit of happiness and a good life. It emphasizes cherishing that which holds the greatest value in life and other such factors that contribute the most to having a good life. While not attempting a strict definition of what makes up a good life, positive psychologists agree that one must be happy, engaged, and meaningful with their experiences. “The good life” as using your signature strengths every day to produce authentic happiness and abundant gratification.

Positive psychology focuses on an Ancient Greek term for “the good life” and the concept for reflection on the factors that contribute the most to a well-lived and fulfilling life. Positive psychologists often use the terms subjective well-being and happiness interchangeably.

Positive psychologists have suggested a number of factors may contribute to happiness and subjective well-being. For example, social ties with a spouse, family, friends, colleagues, and wider networks; membership in clubs or social organizations; physical exercise; and the practice of meditation. Spirituality can also be considered a factor that leads to increased individual happiness and well-being. Spiritual practice and religious commitment is a topic researchers have been studying as another possible source for increased well-being and an added part of positive psychology. Happiness may rise with increasing financial income, though it may plateau or even fall when no further gains are made or after a certain cut-off amount.

All therapy should focus on cultivating positive aspects of a person and how they engage with the world and others around them so that they may start to uncover areas of growth and begin to move toward their full authentic potential.

Positive psychology complements, without intending to replace the traditional fields of psychology. Emphasizing the study of positive human development, could enhance our application and understanding in other fields. More specifically, those which are more clinical and scientific-based. Since they may produce a limited perspective and understanding. Positive psychology has also placed a significant emphasis on fostering positive self-esteem and self-image. Although positive psychologists, with a less humanist direction, focus less on such topics.

Those who practice positive psychology attempt psychological interventions that foster positive attitudes toward one’s subjective experiences, individual traits, and life events. The goal is to minimize pathological thoughts that may arise in a hopeless mindset and to develop a sense of optimism toward life. Positive psychologists seek to encourage acceptance of one’s past, excitement and optimism about one’s future experiences, and a sense of contentment and well-being in the present.[19]

Related concepts are happiness, well-being, quality of life, contentment, and meaningful life.

Happiness: Has been sought after and discussed throughout time. Research has concluded that happiness can be thought of in the way we act and how we think in relative terms to it.

Well-Being: Has often been referred to what is inherently good for an individual both physically and mentally, though other aspects could be added in to define well-being.

Quality of life: Quality of life encompasses more than just physical and mental well-being; it can also include socioeconomic factors. However, there is a cultural difference with this term, as it can be perceived differently in different cultures and regions around the world. In the simplest of terms, this is how well you are living and functioning in life.

Positive psychotherapy is one such therapeutic model that has aimed to reorient the therapeutic approach to be more focused on supporting clients to use their inner resources to overcome challenges, understand and recognize areas of growth, and focus instead on working toward resilience and a greater sense of wellbeing.

Positive psychotherapy (PPT) is a relatively new therapeutic approach, influenced by both the humanistic and psychodynamic approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Its core focus is on moving away from what’s ‘wrong’ with an individual and toward what’s good and positive. 🙂

While the emphasis is on positivity and positive outcomes, the overall theory of PPT also asserts that Many core principles need to be addressed to allow this to happen:

  1. Hope: This principle encourages focus on the overall positivity of humanity, and negative experiences are to be seen as having a higher purpose with a positive reframing. Therapists encourage clients to explore any disruptions to a sense of wellbeing and reframe them as signals that there is an imbalance that requires addressing.
  2. Balance: This principle examines how we experience discontent and the coping methods we use to address it. According to PPT, negative symptoms arise when these coping methods aren’t working and our areas of life are out of balance, with discontent impacting how we think and feel.

Therapy!

Hello To, All My Followers, Readers, and Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as much as possible. And “Keeping yourself Positive and Motivated as Best as possible in these times”. I have been writing about Various way of Therapies to Become Well” And today I am writing about The Therapies itself, and with much more Positive feelings at this time of my Life with “Healing Energies I am receiving” ❤

Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss in some ways; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety. There are several different types of psychotherapy and some types may work better with certain problems or issues. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

Therapy Sessions: Therapy may be conducted in an individual, family, or group setting and can help both children and adults. Both patient and Therapist need to be actively involved in Psychotherapy. The trust and relationship between a person and his or he therapist is essential to be working together effectively and benefitting from psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy can be short-term (a few sessions), dealing with immediate issues, or long-term (months or years), dealing with longstanding and complex issues. The goals of treatment and arrangements for how often and how long to meet are planned jointly by the patient and therapist. Confidentiality is a basic requirement of psychotherapy. Also, although patients share personal feelings and thoughts, intimate physical contact with a therapist is never appropriate, acceptable, or useful.

Psychotherapy and Medication

Psychotherapy is often used in combination with medication to treat mental health conditions. In some circumstances medication may be clearly useful and in others psychotherapy may be the best option. For many people combined medication and psychotherapy treatment is better than either alone. Healthy lifestyle improvements, such as good nutrition, regular exercise and adequate sleep, can be important in supporting recovery and overall wellness.

Does Psychotherapy Work?

Research shows that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. About 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it. 1 Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotions and behaviors and to be linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits also include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction.

With the use of brain imaging techniques researchers have been able to see changes in the brain after a person has undergone psychotherapy. Numerous studies have identified brain changes in people with mental illness (including depression, panic disorder, PTSD and other conditions) as a result of undergoing psychotherapy. In most cases the brain changes resulting from psychotherapy were similar to changes resulting from medication.

To help get the most out of psychotherapy, approach the therapy as a collaborative effort, be open and honest, and follow your agreed upon plan for treatment. Follow through with any assignments between sessions, such as writing in a journal or practicing what you’ve talked about.

Writing helps to know yourself better. To find out who you are, what makes you happy and Joyful and to know what your Talents and Gifts are are. Through this you clarify your thoughts and feelings. Writing or journaling is the best way to organize yourself ❤

Healing ~ Panic!

Hello To All My Followers, Readers and Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are Keeping in Good Health. This is a Topic I have felt The Need to write as I have found out “Very Important at “These Times of Health Issues”. Healing Panic ❤

A panic attack is an unexpected episode of intense fear and anxiety accompanied by physical symptoms that are similar to the body’s normal response to danger. Panic disorder is the term used when a person is prone to repeated attacks of panic. “Chronic panic” probably means there are persistent symptoms, more suggestive of generalized anxiety disorder. Many people living with panic disorder describes feeling as though they are having a heart attack. The feeling may be so intense that they may seek emergency medical assistance, especially if they are unaware that they have panic disorder.

Update: 27th October 2021: Actually, there is a “Very Important incident for this” But now that it is long time ago (1924) I have taken off the full story. One day I had finished my shopping and sat to have a bit of a rest before going to the car. There was a lady seated in the same seat who was going to the shops having a rest. I asked her “Do you like reading and she said not much but “My daughter reads”. and she needs help. Then I said give her this card it is my website. “It is about Mental wellness. “To Give Hope and Strength” I got Healing Energy into My Hands after I went home, I hope my website helped her!

How is a panic disorder treated?

If you suffer from panic disorder, it can be helpful to know 2 things at First:

  • Don’t Think of Them as You are in life-threatening danger.
  • And keep Your strength and Hope that the symptoms will go away.

    At The same Time “Please see A Doctor “As soon as Possible”!
  • What is A Panic Attack: A Panic Attack is a response to a stressful situation, where you feel like you are losing control.

May 1st 2022: This is some new information I found in a “Psychology Magazine” Yes already it is shown water helps to feel fresh and to feel Relaxed, and to splash water on our faces above also, and even when we are tired and hot. But now what is being said is to use ice water if possible or very cold water. “A Sudden change in Temperature makes a, “Deeply Relaxing Shift so Muscle Tension and shakiness drops. And supposed to “Stop the Panic attack in its tracks” You need to take a Bowl of cold water, If possible or like to add some ice (ice might be not ok if its very cold winter or have sensitive skin). And to Dip your whole face in the bowl for a little while. All depends on each of you. And to do again if necessary 🙂

Here below “A New Picture”, of “Self Help” are Many Ways to, “Help To Reduce stress and To Help get over Anxiety” ❤

If you have a panic attack, you might have a racing heart and be flushed with sometimes Pain you chest also. You might feel sweaty, shaky, dizzy Faintish and breathless. You may not have all these and know “What You get” Whether it is mild or severe when people over work or get hurt, they get stressed. And when it comes to Healing, You have to somehow “Learn to Relax” and let Your feelings of  “Stress which is, discomfort or sadness reduced” ❤
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGVWRvNe1-A


Here are some more Ideas, “That You can choose or which are Possible for Each of You” To do As Soon As Possible ❤

You need to discuss with your closest, and that is your family members, as they are the people whom you come across almost daily, and the most important people that need to know what is going on with you, as otherwise they will not know how to support you ❤

The thing is sometimes how ever much you have people around you, they may not know, nor will they really understand what you are going through. Or sometimes  it can be that, the very ones who should be “Caring and supporting you will get upset themselves and might be not able to help you. At these times see if you can find “A Friend, even an outsider who can Understand” You ❤

To manage panic disorder, you need strategies to regain some control. Techniques that can help you feel calmer include:

  • Relaxation strategies
  • Breathing exercises
  • Mindfulness
  • Meditation

Make Note: This is ***This is Not Professional Counselling*** What I am writing is “Mostly My first hand Knowledge and Experiences, and  also, doing references”. You Need To Talk with A Doctor and Take, “Advice or Help” You need to work on it with all available resources. And do see a Medical Personnel, a Doctor, Counsellor or Therapist ❤

This is to explain what “The Counsellor Does” He or she has to meet you and be Helpful by: Listening to what You have to say. They have to, “Be Able to Be Kind, Understand and Trust” and to be So it has to be that “The Counsellor Matches Your Personality” and Understand You ❤

I hope what I have posted and written has helped You to know what Counselling is and You will feel much better. Also to know exactly how it helps and how to go about, “For Professional Counselling Yourself” Best of Luck ❤

Ending this article, Know That I Care ~ I know how it hurts when people are unkind or cruel. And sometimes things do not work the way you want. “Have Faith and Patience ~ Know that You can Heal gradually. “YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK”  Please Click on this Link to Read This Post in this Blog: You are Stronger than You Think!

Try and some how “TALK” to someone who can be Kind and Listen. BE PATIENT. Have FAITH  and keep your Strength and Hopes ❤
