eMHPrac Webinar 68: Recognising and Enhancing Positive Emotion

With Dr Jan Orman and Dr Melanie BabooramAs health practitioners, we are trained to focus on the negative. But many of the people we talk to could benefit from exploring positive emotions as well.In addition to learning how to restructure and manage unpleasant emotions, we can also explore the ways they are generating positive emotions. Together we can explore what they are doing well, what skills and concepts they can tap into to enhance these, and – most importantly - how that positive emotion feels to them.In this brief and practical webinar, we discuss the importance of highlighting the positive emotions in clinical conversations and explore some ways in which we can help people (and ourselves) enhance the experience of those emotions.
