For over a century, psychotherapy has centered on addressing what ails us, with the therapeutic process relying on the assumption that unearthing past traumas, correcting faulty thinking, and restoring dysfunctional relationships holds the key to healing. However, an essential aspect has been overlooked: the potential for positive change. Shouldn't making us happier, better individuals be explicit goals of therapy?

Enter positive psychotherapy, a groundbreaking approach that harnesses the principles of positive psychology, a rapidly evolving field dedicated to understanding the factors that enable us to thrive. This workbook, designed to be used in conjunction with the accompanying clinician's manual, offers a session-by-session therapeutic framework rooted in positive psychology.

In the first chapter, readers delve into the definition of positive psychotherapy, exploring the key concepts of character strengths. These strengths, which are inherent to all individuals, serve as the foundation for personal growth and well-being. The workbook then presents 15 engaging and practical positive psychotherapy sessions, each accompanied by lessons, guidelines, skills, and worksheets to facilitate the application of positive psychology skills learned in session.

For those seeking to enhance their well-being through psychotherapy, Positive Psychotherapy provides a refreshing complement to traditional approaches. It offers readers a sense of purpose and meaning that many have found lacking in more conventional therapies, empowering them to cultivate positive emotions, build resilience, and foster meaningful relationships.

By embracing the power of positive psychology, this workbook empowers individuals to embark on a transformative journey toward greater happiness, fulfillment, and overall well-being. Whether you are a therapist, counselor, or simply someone seeking personal growth, Positive Psychotherapy offers valuable insights and practical tools to help you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.
