Looking Good:a practical guide for developing an optimistic outlook
Incidences of depression are on the rise. The rate of depression in the US is ten times higher today than it was in 1960. The average age for the onset of depression is fourteen, compared to twenty-nine in 1960. Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from depression.
While this data is grim, there is something we each can do to minimize the risk of depression. We all encounter difficult times in our lives. We differ in how we respond to them. Some, when encountering misfortune, bounce back rather quickly, while others may be adversely affected for weeks or months to come.
If you want to improve your skills at rebounding from unfortunate events in your life, Looking Good is for you.
Not a quick fix, secret remedy or a magic bullet, Looking Good offers practical hands-on tools, that when applied with commitment and good will results in a significant improvement in dealing with adversity.
The course material blends a synopsis of the most recent research in the field of Positive Psychology with over twenty-five years of clinical experience in a highly learnable, practical, hands-on fashion. The result is a plausible narrative that explores the factors that lead to developing a positive outlook. In Looking Good you will learn how to:
· develop a constructive explanatory style
· dispute negative thoughts
· identify the best time to employ optimism
· constructively employ distraction
· value hope and self-responsibility
· avoid destructive patterns
