DESCRIPTION
The UK Association of Transactional Analysts invited me to talk to the community about Positive Psychology. This presentation explores Eric Berne's concept of Reachback and Afterburn and relates it to Zimbardo's work around Time Perspectives. How can therapists encourage positivity and happiness in themselves and their clients as a way to thrive.

Positive Psychology
Psychotherapy is a general term referring to
therapeutic interaction or treatment contracted
between a trained professional and a client, patient, family, couple, or
group.
Psychology is an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviours.
Positive psychology
seeks "to find and nurture genius and talent", and "to
make normal life more fulfilling", rather than
merely treating mental illness.
Implications of society & organisations thriving

to the situation

opportunities • Opportunity magnet• Builds resilience • Create positive memories • Moods go viral• Build high performing teams
Balance of negative and positive
3 positive for every negative
Negative has more impact than positive
“I used to envy the friends who always seemed to have such a good time. They might be doing much the same things as I did, …, but where I found the things I did always ordinary and mainly dull, these friends were always involved in events which were interesting and exciting. It took me years to realise that the differences between these friends and me was not in what we did, or what we felt about what we did, but how we talked about what we did.” ~ Dorothy Rowe (1988)
