Therapy vs coaching
Therapy and coaching differ in their underlying assumptions and approaches. Therapy assumes the client needs healing from past issues and works to help them achieve self-understanding and emotional healing by exploring feelings, past events, and the unconscious mind. In contrast, coaching assumes the client is already whole and works to help them overcome barriers and learn new skills by focusing on actions, the future, and solving problems using the conscious mind to move the client to a higher level of functioning.

This study examined the roles of acceptance and suppression in relaxation. 95 participants underwent a stressor task designed to induce anxiety before being given different interventions promoting acceptance, suppression, mindfulness, or endurance. Physiological arousal and self-reported anxiety were measured. Results showed that acceptance and mindfulness led to lower physiological arousal compared to suppression and a placebo. Acceptance also led to lower self-reported anxiety over time compared to other conditions. The findings provide evidence for the role of acceptance in relaxation and reinforce that suppression can paradoxically increase anxiety. Further research is needed to deepen understanding of the underlying processes.

This study used diary entries to examine the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) events, emotions, and conflict management behaviors in Greek professionals. The diary entries were coded into categories of POS events and corresponding positive and negative emotional reactions. The analysis found that different types of POS events elicited different emotions, and different emotions led to different conflict management responses. Younger employees reported more intense negative emotions than older employees in response to POS events. Anger trajectories also differed by tenure, with younger employees expressing increasing outrage and older employees expressing increasing sadness over anger incidents. The study provides insights into how POS events shape emotions and behaviors in the workplace.

Positive parenting martin seligman

It also suggests focusing on a child's interests and abilities rather than weaknesses. The document advises calibrating praise to a child's accomplishments and using consequences rarely as a last resort.
Why goal setting is effective
Goal setting is effective because it directs attention towards focusing on relative goals, mobilizes effort needed to accomplish new learning strategies, and develops new ways of accomplishing tasks that lead to better goal achievement through persistence and focused effort.

Well being theory perma
This diagram outlines a well-being theory called PERMA which identifies five pillars of well-being: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. It shows how each pillar contributes to an individual's overall well-being and happiness.
The flow experience csikszentmihalyi
The document discusses the concept of "flow state", which is described as a state of total absorption, optimal functioning, and intrinsic motivation that occurs when an individual's skills are fully matched to the challenge at hand. Key requirements for achieving a flow state include maintaining focused attention, having a positive mental attitude, and ensuring a balance between the perceived skills of the performer and the perceived challenge of the task. Examples are given of activities like playing jazz or martial arts that can facilitate entering a flow state where one's whole being is involved and the activity is intrinsically rewarding.
Stress
Long term stress can damage the immune system and disrupt the body's normal chemical balance by constantly elevating levels of cortisol and other stress hormones which depletes energy, makes it difficult to sleep, and can lead to stress related disorders that affect the majority of Americans. Chronic stress causes the body to recalibrate to a new higher level of stress as a "new homeostasis" and can desensitize receptors related to pleasure and happiness over time with constant overexposure and overstimulation of the fear and stress response.
Stress response
Stress can affect both our psychological state and physiological response. When faced with stressors, our bodies activate what is known as the stress response. This stress response triggers changes in our bodies like increased heart rate and cortisol levels that help us deal with threats.
Self hypnosis
This document outlines different types of hypnosis, including self-hypnosis which is self-induced relaxation through focusing attention without an external hypnotist, autohypnosis which is self-hypnosis induced through posthypnotic suggestion, and heterohypnosis where hypnosis is induced by another person such as a trained therapist through establishing rapport and avoiding negative suggestions.
