For many of us, happiness can feel harder and harder to come by these days, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic uprooted our lives in unprecedented ways. Depression, anxiety, and stress run rampant – taking an enormous toll on individuals, families, workplaces, and society. With that in mind, there’s been no time as important as right now to cultivate the skills we need to enhance well-being and happiness in both ourselves and our clients. Over the past decade, 2 emerging fields – positive psychology and neuroscience – have begun to offer us hope for lasting change. This workshop synthesizes these approaches in a practical, easy-to-use manner.
Join positive psychologist and author Jonah Paquette, Psy.D. for an exciting 2-day workshop focused on the science of well-being and the ingredients of a meaningful life. Weaving modern advances in neuroscience with strategies for lasting well-being, this workshop will provide you with the necessary skills to transform your clinical work. Learn how practices like gratitude, compassion, mindfulness, self-compassion, awe, and more – can create lasting changes to our level of well-being and even improve our physical health. Even more, learn how these approaches can, over time, create lasting changes in our brain thanks to the power of neuroplasticity. In doing so, we can combat stress, reduce burnout, improve our relationships and job performance, and foster greater physical and emotional health. Through hands-on practice, didactic presentation, and time for reflection, you’ll learn how to expertly apply these skills into your life and your work. By attending this program, you’ll be equipped to implement these approaches into your clinical practice, starting immediately.
