Do you want to be happy? It's a question philosopher Sebastian Purcell asks his students every year. Do you want to be happy? For Purcell being happy has a lot in common with living a good life, “The Stoic answer to this question, that the good life consists in flourishing (eudaimonia), has seen a resurgent interest that is indicative of a cultural shift. Interestingly, it looks to be taking the place left open by the retreat of religious belief,” he writes. And stoicism? It's a way to look at life and how the world connects, how they work. It's physical, Purcell says, and metaphysical. Most people think of me as a pretty happy person, and I possibly am. To be fair, before I started to feel a bit overwhelmed by my life, I'd always thought positively about things, expected good outcomes. When I lived in another town and would drive from place to place for my job as a reporter or to pick up my daughter, Em, from school, I'd hear from people later. “You just drive around smiling. What are you even thinking about?” I couldn't ever tell them. They'd scoff. I'd laugh. I'm pretty sure one city councilor called me a weirdo about it. I know a baseball coach did. It didn't matter. I was who I was. When Em was little, she and I would talk about her worries, I'd run through logically how outcomes were probably not what she'd expect. I do that with Xane, our other kiddo, too. “If you fail a test, will you end up in jail? Will anyone die?” I'd ask. Em would roll her eyes at me and say things like, “You're being ridiculous, Mommy.” I'd bounce back with and say brilliantly, “You don't have to expect the worst case scenarios all the time because a bad grade is not a worst case scenario.” “I'm just being realistic,” she'd say. “No. You're being pessimistic,” I'd tell her, “because you aren't going to fail anyway.” The truth is that though I've told both of them these things and even though I motor through my day staying pretty chill and positive, often I would flop in bed at night and stare at the darkness for an hour, a weird shiver of anxiety creeping through me—anxiety stemming from things that I couldn't quite place. That doesn't sound all that happy to me, but the truth was that even as I smiled in my car all by myself, even as I sold positive outcomes to my kids, I didn't know how to even define happiness. I don't think I'd ever really tried. And I'm trying now. Harvard professor, Arthur Brooks, says that “happiness equals enjoyment plus satisfaction plus meaning.” Brooks tells his students to think of happiness as “a portfolio with four big categories of investments.” He says, “We need all of them so our happiness can grow in a balanced way. The first investment is faith or life philosophy, it's how you make sense of the world.” Family and relationships that will most likely stay with you throughout your life though you don't choose them is the second category. The third is the relationships we choose. What he calls our “most intimate relationships.” “The fourth is meaningful work,” he says.  "That doesn't mean work that pays a fortune or features a fancy title. Rather, it's work that allows you to earn your success and serve others.” A HAPPINESS PORTFOLIO Those four categories aren't solo acts. They work together and they all have to be there, he believes and that means? Well, it means that we don't get to be in charge of our happiness all the time. Sometimes horrible things happen. Circumstances exist. And heredity is a factor, too. I think I'm pretty lucky because despite all the choices she made and things she went through, my mom was a pretty happy human. And my biological father was always happy too. That accounts, Brooks believes, for about 50 % of my happiness. I once asked Shaun, “Babe, would you call your parents happy people?” And he said, “Now or when I was a kid?” “Kid?” Then he made a long whistling exhale and said, “Not really. I mean they weren't really unhappy. Probably happier apart.” So maybe take a hot second and think of your parents, too, if you know them. Do you think they were happy? Brooks said, “Approximately 50% of your happiness is inherited and another big chunk is determined by your circumstances at any given moment. But the remaining part, about a quarter, comes from this portfolio, which is under your direct control. “Another metaphor for happiness is a meal which has certain macronutrients but instead of food's macronutrients of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, the macronutrients of happiness are enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning. And just like you need a balanced macronutrient profile in a healthy diet, you need balance to be a happy person.” Brooks suggests taking a second and think of those four pieces of your happiness PORTFOLIO. Your Life Philosophy – Do you have one? Do you have core personal values? Your Family – Are there people you could call in an emergency? Friends – Do you have a community somewhere? Where? Is it a club? A house? A school? Purpose-filled Work – Does your work (volunteer or paid) make you feel valued? Are you happy in those places? DOG TIP FOR LIFE It's okay for your happiness portfolio to be: Poop Sleep Eat Cuddles. God, knows it's Shaun's.

Can the Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT - help and support a healing journey? In this episode with Emma Roberts of the EFT Centre. Emma will introduce you to EFT, explain how it can be used to support health and healing as well as do a demonstration with me. One, that you can join in with at home. I stumbled upon EFT, or the Emotional Freedom Technique, much later in life than I had anticipated, especially considering my susceptibility to stress, which feels as debilitating as kryptonite. Yet, upon discovery, I found EFT to be an invaluable self-help tool, readily accessible once you understand its mechanics. It has the remarkable ability to diminish the emotional intensity of various situations, worries, and challenges. For individuals confronting health issues, EFT can serve as a powerful ally, offering support throughout their illness and aiding in their journey toward recovery. Sue Beer and Emma Roberts Sue Beer and Emma Roberts are the co-founders of The iEFT Centre and the originators and pioneers of Integrated Energy Techniques (IET), bringing together energy psychology and the very best ways of working with Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP, Coaching, Cognitive Psychotherapy and Psycho-spiritual approaches. Their combined backgrounds have proven to be a very strong foundation within which the newer breakthrough approaches of energy psychology continue to grow and develop. Sue and Emma were also two of the first ten practitioners in the world to be awarded the title EFT Master by Gary Craig. They are the authors of Healing the Addicted Heart (Sue Beer) and Even Though I Have Cancer... (Emma Roberts).

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 For decades, evidence-based therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, has been defined in terms of treatment protocols focused on syndromes as defined by the DSM and ICD. These psychiatric classification systems assume that psychological problems are expressions of latent disease entities. However, there is little evidence to support this restrictive assumption. A process-focused approach (Process-Based Therapy, PBT) is now emerging. This approach does not rely on the assumption that psychological problems are expressions of latent disease entities, but it does not rule it out either. Instead, mental health problems are assumed to exist as systems of interconnected elements. As is true for many complex networks, such a change can occur abruptly once the network reaches a tipping point. PBT directly links treatment techniques to processes in the individual client, thereby linking classification to treatment based on functional analysis and complex networks. This offers a less restrictive and more externally valid alternative to the latent disease model, while offering exciting new directions for future research in psychiatry and is in line with personalized medicine. -- Stefan G. Hofmann, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University, where he directs the Psychotherapy and Emotion Research Laboratory, and one of the world's foremost experts in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – especially for anxiety disorders. He was former president of Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and president of the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. Professor Hofmann's research focuses on the mechanisms of treatment change, translating discoveries from neuroscience into clinical applications, emotions, and cultural expressions of psychopathology, and is currently the Principal Investigator of a study examining yoga as a treatment for generalized anxiety disorder.

Burnout is a state of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion, affecting 57% of the UK population. If it's not managed properly, it can lead to feelings of detachment, cynicism, and ineffectiveness - many of the symptoms associated with clinical depression. Recent years have seen sharp increases in those experiencing it, with one survey reporting a 9% increase in 2021, compared with pre-Covid numbers in 2019. So for this event, we've brought together three world leading experts who will share with you: — Science-based strategies for working with burnout and compassion fatigue (Françoise Mathieu) — Dopamine: the secret mechanism underlying almost all addictive behaviour, and how to get it to work for you, rather than against you (Dr Anna Lembke) — The Productivity Trap: why we have to stop, and how a healthy amount of ‘doing nothing' can lead to heightened levels of creativity, wellbeing, and a more fulfilling existence (Professor Josh Cohen) As a listener of this podcast, you can get a discount on your ticket, if you go to http://bit.ly/burnout-twu, and use the discount code: POD when registering.

Perceba que a falta de esperança não é uma resposta realista à sua realidade – ela é um sintoma da sua depressão. • Pergunte-se se existe alguma vantagem em se sentir sem esperança. Isso o está protegendo contra a decepção ou ajudando de alguma outra maneira? • Por que você acha que as coisas não têm solução? Anote as suas razões e depois as examine. • A sua falta de esperança é uma profecia autorrealizada? Veja se consegue cultivar um pouco de dúvida de que as coisas não tenham solução. Depois, imagine o que aconteceria se agisse como se elas tivessem. • Pergunte-se o que precisaria mudar para que você se sentisse melhor. Talvez seja um objetivo possível de atingir. • Quais objetivos não são sem esperança na sua vida? Foque neles e não naqueles que você não pode esperar alcançar. • Perceba que nenhuma pessoa ou experiência específicas são necessárias para a sua felicidade. • Pergunte-se se já se sentiu sem esperança antes. As coisas mudaram? • Talvez você ache que os obstáculos que está enfrentando são grandes demais. Mas quais você já ultrapassou no passado? • Existem técnicas e medicamentos que ainda não experimentou para combater sua depressão? Não é possível dizer que não existe esperança se você ainda não tentou tudo. • Experimente um exercício de consciência plena. Você verá que não pode ter falta de esperança em relação ao momento presente – e que pode retornar ao momento presente a qualquer hora Referências: 1. Robert L.

On this episode of “Sanity” Dr. Jason Duncan and Dr. Scott Waltman discuss some of the pitfalls mental health professionals make when implementing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The most common pitfalls identified in research completed by Dr. Waltman included socratic questioning and guided discovery. Dr. Waltman and Dr. Duncan discuss socratic questioning, its origin with the Greek philosopher Socrates, and how it can be an effective tool in therapy. They provide numerous benefits to this intervention, including helping clients “become their own therapists.” Dr. Waltman discloses the framework for honing the skill of socratic questioning from his new book, Socratic Questioning for Therapists and Counselors: Learn How to Think and Intervene Like a Cognitive Behavior Therapist. Dr. Waltman also identifies a number of other pitfalls therapists make when implementing CBT, such as setting an agenda, pacing the session, receiving feedback from clients, reviewing and developing individualized homework, trouble selecting when to implement interventions and deciding where to intervene. He describes his own therapeutic techniques and how to combat some of these pitfalls. Dr. Duncan and Dr. Waltman both emphasize the importance and difficulty of learning these important skills. They described numerous resources for therapists interested in learning more about CBT, including websites, research studies, books, trainings, and certificates. Dr. Waltman is a clinical psychologist, international trainer, and practice-based researcher. His interests include evidence-based psychotherapy practice, training, and implementation in systems that provide care to underserved populations. He is certified as a qualified Cognitive Therapist and Trainer/Consultant by the Academy of Cognitive & Behavioral Therapies and is board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology from the American Board of Professional Psychology. He is a board member for the International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapy.

Joy, fear, panic, sadness, anxiety, compassion, jealousy, shame and anger. Emotions are an inherent element of life and they play a very important role. Unfortunately, many people experience difficulties in dealing with various emotions, which leads to emotional suffering. Depression, anxiety or insufficient anger management are some of the most common psychological disorders. During his lecture, Professor Stefan G. Hofmann, a preeminent expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from Boston University, will present the latest research on emotions, their management and forms of therapy. The lecture was coupled with a launch of the Polish edition of prof. Hofmann’s book "Process-based CBT: The science and core clinical competencies of cognitive behavioral therapy”, published by Gdańskie Wydawnictwo Psychologiczne (GWP). Emotions are critical aspects of mental health. A staple theme in clinical psychology, emotion regulation, or the ability to manage one’s emotions, is directly linked with personal wellbeing and the ability to effectively navigate the social world. Although conventional treatments for emotional disorders are generally effective interventions, many people still suffer from residual emotional distress, such as anxiety, depression, and anger problems. Moreover, contemporary treatments that have focused primarily on negative affect rarely leads to lasting improvements in positive affect, quality of life, and happiness. Recent scientific evidence and theoretical models of emotions can enrich the therapeutic strategies when treating emotional disorders. Until recently, this concept has been limited to a focus on intrapersonal processes, or the process of regulating one’s own emotions. Less emphasis has been placed on developmental, social, and cultural aspects of emotion regulation. However, as social beings, our engagement in emotion regulation may often occur interpersonally, with trusted others helping us to regulate our emotions. I will highlight recent research on interpersonal emotion regulation processes. Although social factors are of critical importance in the development and maintenance of emotional disorders, the contemporary view of emotion regulation has been primarily limited to intrapersonal processes. Based on diverse perspectives pointing to the communicative function of emotions, the social processes in self-regulation, and the role of social support, I will present an interpersonal model of emotion regulation of mood and anxiety disorders. This model provides a theoretical framework to understand and explain how mood and anxiety disorders are regulated and maintained through others. The literature, which provides support for the model, is reviewed and the clinical implications are discussed. These strategies range from adaptive and flexible intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies to various mindfulness-based practices. These insights can inform the treatment for emotional disorders. Stefan G. Hoffman – is a clinical psychologist, a preeminent expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and professor in the clinical program at Boston University, where he directs the Psychotherapy and Emotion Research Laboratory at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders. His research focuses on the mechanism of treatment change, translating discoveries from neuroscience into clinical applications, emotions, and cultural expressions of psychopathology. He is former president of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. He is also editor in chief of Cognitive Therapy and Research and is Associate Editor of Clinical Psychological Science. He was an advisor to the DSM-5 Development Process and a member of the DSM-5 Anxiety Disorder Sub-Work Group. Recipient of many prestigious professional awards, including the Aaron T. Beck Award for Significant and Enduring contributions to the Field of Cognitive Therapy.

The Philosophy of 

It is well-known that Stoic ideas about ethical guidance and the therapy of emotion influenced the formation of modern cognitive therapy. This paper outlines those links and also explores how far the two practices are parallel in their aims and methods with special reference to Epictetus’ ‘Discourses’ and ACT therapy. Bearing in mind the broader theme of the conference, on the intellectual challenge of philosophy (and its significance for practice), I ask how far the distinctive theoretical commitments of Stoic ‘therapy’ render it different in its objectives and procedure from modern cognitive psychotherapy.

Worry is a form of fear, and all forms of fear produce fatigue. A man who has learnt not to feel fear will find the fatigue of daily life greatly diminished.The proper course with every kind of fear is to think about it rationally and calmly, but with great concentration, until it becomes completely familiar. In the end familiarity will bunt its terrors; the whole subject will become boring and our thoughts will turn away from it, not as formerly, by an effort of will, but through mere lack of interest in the topic. Both quotes by Bertrand Russell Book: The Philosophy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Stoic Philosophy as Rational and Cognitive Psychotherapy by Donald RobertsonSponsor Information: AMP HP (formerly Topical Edge) PR Lotion Discount Code: UtmostPerformance (all one word) at topicaledge.comIf you like this content and want to hear more of it, find my channel A Champion's Mind on Anchor/FM where I release content several times a week.  I'd be glad to have you there as well! https://anchor.fm/a-champions-mind35

This week on Relationships 2.0 I'm replaying a previous episode with David A. Carbonell, PhD author of The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It About the book: Are you truly in danger or has your brain simply “tricked” you into thinking you are? In The Worry Trick, psychologist and anxiety expert David Carbonell shows how anxiety hijacks the brain and offers effective techniques to help you break the cycle of worry, once and for all. Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question ourselves and our decisions, causes us to worry about the future, and fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. Based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this book is designed to help you break the cycle of worry. Worry convinces us there’s danger, and then tricks us into getting into fight, flight, or freeze mode—even when there is no danger. The techniques in this book, rather than encouraging you to avoid or try to resist anxiety, shows you how to see the trick that underlies your anxious thoughts, and how avoidance can backfire and make anxiety worse. If you’re ready to start observing your anxious feelings with distance and clarity—rather than getting tricked once again—this book will show you how. About the author: David Carbonell, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders. He is the founder and director of the Anxiety Treatment Center, Ltd., a small group of psychologists which offers treatment of all manner of fears and phobias at several locations in and around Chicago, and the “coach” at www.anxietycoach.com, a self help web site for people troubled by fears and phobias.
