Description
Description: Burns explores how positive psychology and Ericksonian principles intersect in everyday clinical practice. Through interactive exercises, case examples, and sensory-based tools such as the “happiness inventory,” he demonstrates how therapists can cultivate flourishing in themselves and their clients by expanding awareness, choice, connection, and meaning. Blending research on flow, neuroplasticity, compassion, and community with vivid stories from cross-cultural experience, the session offers practical strategies for building well-being rather than focusing solely on pathology.
Syllabus Description: Positive psychology is talking about concepts of flourishing, happiness and well-being. Through practical exercises, useful strategies and demonstration, learn about the up-to-date developments in this growing field, its clinical applications and the relevance for your life as well as the lives of your clients.

- To name three main concepts of positive psychology.
