Dance movement therapy uses movement and dance to address emotional, cognitive, physical, and social needs. It helps individuals express themselves nonverbally and release suppressed feelings. This allows negative feelings to be released rather than stored in the body, bringing a sense of healing. The therapy can be used preventatively or for destressing, and in group settings helps with opening up, sharing, understanding others, and building confidence. It provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals to move in their own unique ways. The document focuses on using dance movement therapy to help women, who often neglect their own needs while caring for their families, restore self-esteem and engage in simple self-care activities.

Finally, he covered peak-end theory which states that people's judgments of experiences are influenced by the peak moment and how it ended.

Emotion management

Dr. Nidhi Srivastava

Positive psychology focuses on human thriving and optimal functioning.

This document summarizes key concepts in positive psychology including happiness, optimism, character strengths, and motivation.

Social workers help people overcome difficult challenges like poverty, abuse, addiction, and loss. However, constantly assisting clients with serious problems can lead to burnout for social workers. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress that reduces productivity and energy. Around 30% of social workers do not plan to remain in their current job for over two years due to issues like job dissatisfaction and burnout. To prevent and recover from burnout, social workers must acknowledge the difficulty of their work, seek support from loved ones, pursue hobbies and interests outside of work to maintain balance and prevent exhaustion.

Positive Psychology 2

Peter Gowers

Positive psychology focuses on optimal human functioning and thriving. Martin Seligman founded the field to study happiness and normal lives, not just mental illness. Two approaches to happiness are savoring, consciously attending to pleasure, and flow, fully immersing in an activity. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi extensively researched flow and defined its characteristics. Work can induce flow more than leisure, paradoxically. Savoring involves mindfully appreciating positive experiences through sharing, memory building, and other techniques to enhance well-being.

Positive psychology

KJ Foster, LMHC, CAP, ACRPS

Positive psychology is the scientific study of positive experiences and traits that facilitate well-being and optimal functioning. It operates from a strengths-based model rather than focusing solely on pathology. The field aims to develop meaning, fulfillment, and positive emotions through examining engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement. Major figures in the field include Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and Christopher Peterson. Evidence shows that positive interventions including gratitude journals, acts of kindness, and using signature strengths can increase well-being and decrease depressive symptoms. Critics argue it may ignore suffering, but proponents emphasize it embraces a full range of human emotions and experiences.
