In the Zone: Finding Flow Through Positive Psychology from PDResources

May 26, 2016 - PRLog -- By Claire Dorotik-Nana, LMFT

According to the CDC, four out of ten people have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. Further, the APA reports that most people suffer from moderate to high levels of stress, and according to SAMSHA, adult prescription medication abuse (primarily to counteract attention deficit disorders) is one of the most concerning health problems today. And while clinicians now have a host of resources to mitigate distress and reduce symptomatology, the question remains: how do clinicians move clients beyond baseline levels of functioning to a state of fulfillment imbued with a satisfying life purpose? The answer may lie in a universal condition with unexpected benefits…

In the Zone: Finding Flow through Positive Psychology is a new 2-hour online continuing education (CE) course that explores the concept of flow, a condition we are all capable of, yet seldom cultivate. When in flow we experience a profound and dramatic shift in the way we experience ourselves, our capabilities, and the world around us. Our focus sharpens, our strengths are heightened, we feel an intense sense of euphoria and connection to the world around us, and we often realize capabilities we didn't know were possible. For clients, flow doesn't just help them become more capable, it dramatically improves their lives - teaching them not just to expect more from themselves, but how to cultivate the very conditions that make expecting more possible.

This course, packed with exercises, tips, and tools, will demonstrate just how flow can be incorporated into your everyday life, and used to help your clients move from simply surviving to a life that harnesses and builds upon their own unique potential to thrive.
