Summary:
Positive psychology has brought awareness to the importance of the client’s mindset, which can be in a negative space, marked by negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, or a positive space with hopeful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In this workshop, the presenters will use Switch Theory, a new modality based on cognitive behavioral techniques, to teach clients how to escape negative spaces. Licensed mental health professionals, medical professionals, and ministry leaders will increase their insight regarding a client’s personal positive and negative space thinking patterns, explore the purpose of dysfunctional thinking and behaviors, and deconstruct negative self-talk. Additionally, participants will learn how to help clients engage in the automatic switch, make a manual reset, and move back to a positive space for thinking. These principles can be used to help clients with depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as build thriving relationships.
