A central currency in the therapeutic exchange is negative experiences–depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, etc. This practical and positive approach assumes that each core human experience has equivalent potential to be positive or negative, depending on the human relationship to it; and thus focuses on how problems may be transformed to resources by skillful human connection. This process operates at two levels: (1) developing a generative state (in the therapist, client, and relationship field) and then (2) using specific methods of transforming negative experiences and behaviors. Multiple techniques and examples for will be given, along with an exercise and demonstration.

 

Educational Objectives:

1. Demonstrate three methods for transforming a negative experience into a positive resource.
2. Demonstrate three techniques for reducing negative attitudes towards typical problems.
3. Identify 3 ways to translate a negative goal to a positive goal.
