What's Solution-Focused therapy

Solution-focused therapy adopts many theoretical models from the field of positive psychology. It is considered a short-term therapeutic approach that's usually goal-oriented. It usually focuses on finding solutions to life challenges rather than solely focusing on processing problems and stressors.

What's Positive Psychology

Positive psychology is a branch of psychology that studies the conditions and environments that contribute to the optimal functioning of our mental psyche.

Researchers who endorse positive psychology associate individuals' internal happiness to multiple factors such as the quality of their relationships, the level of their physical activity, and their interest in spiritual practices such as meditation or Yoga.
