The word positive is not randomly attached to psychology to make it sound nicer or more motivating. Positive psychology is a real scientific field founded by Martin Seligman and it has been researched, tested, and studied for decades. In short, positive psychology is not motivational talk or “just think positive” It is science.
Positive psychology is not a trend we follow it is the core scientific approach we build everything on alongside cognitive-based therapy, acceptance, and compassion-based approaches. In real psychological work these approaches do not compete with each other they work together and they work very well together.
People who experience depression or burnout often find it very difficult to see anything good in their lives. Even when something good exists they cannot access it. A positive psychology practitioner helps the person find it somewhere deep inside and start working with it.
This gives the person a green light to think differently, feel differently, and slowly feel better.
As we said positive psychology is based on science and life experiences prove its healing benefits in depression, corporate burnout and many other areas of life.

With positive psychology we work on replacing negative thought patterns with healthier ones. When thoughts change too hormones change too! The body releases happiness-related hormones instead of stress hormones and this leads to more positive feelings and better experiences over time.
Through games people reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a natural way. This makes mental health work more human more accessible and more effective especially in organizations.
