Strengths Based Counselling
Optimism - what can I learn from this.
Strengths Based Counselling focuses on what is going right in a person’s life. You and I will work together to find past and present successes and use these to address the challenges being faced. Positive Thinking or Learned Optimism is about learning a new perspective. Instead of projecting what can go wrong, you are encouraged to focus on what can go right – since it’s all speculation anyway. Key questions are “What can I learn from this?” and “What good can come from this?” In this way, a negative situation is not a total defeat – it’s a temporary setback, a learning experience.
