Early bird pricing available.
Emotions play an important role in our daily lives. Positive emotions, in particular, have
a strong biological influence on cardiovascular functioning, oxytocin levels, and gene
expression within our immune cells. In this workshop, Dr. Barbara Fredrickson, one of the
leading scholars in the positive psychology field, will share her latest theory and
findings on how positive emotions are essential to (a) enhancing health, (b) sustaining
lifestyle changes, and (c) creating positive connections with others. At a time when
emotional distress and social isolation are epidemic, this workshop is particularly
important for healthcare professionals and other individuals interested in learning about
effective strategies for helping our clients moderate stress and become more socially
connected.
Dr. Fredrickson will explain the specifics of how emotional and physical health influence
each other. She will discuss the process of leveraging this knowledge to foster the
behavior changes pivotal for improved mental and physical health. She will also show us
how even fleeting moments of positive social connection with others can benefit us. Our
daily diets of positive social connections influence how we grow and change, making us
healthier and more resilient. Dr. Fredrickson describes how our heart’s capacity for
connection can be accurately measured and strengthened, and offers practical ways these
discoveries can be applied in daily life to promote individual and communal well-being.
Course Objectives:
* Identify the biological profiles that are associated with habitual positive emotions
and how they may support physical health.
* Describe why and how to leverage positive emotions to support sustained behavior
change.
* Describe how positivity resonates between and among people, creating micro-moments
of shared positivity, biological and behavioral synchrony, and mutual care.
* Identify aspects of well-being that are influenced by positive emotions and positive
connection.
