Potential Psychology

We’re revisiting our How to Thrive series co-hosted with positive psychotherapist Marie McLeod for Mental Health Month.This series initially went live in late 2021 - almost 12 months ago - while How to Thrive, the documentary, was still in production. It is now out in the world and showing in cinemas all over the country.In this episode, we talk about the first "beam" of the BEACON model: Belonging. We ask: What do we mean by belonging? How important is having close connections to others to our wellbeing? What is a Thrive Tribe and how do we cultivate and sustain one? Who gets to be in our "thrive tribe?" What's a micro-moment of connection? And how does it help us to build relationships?Your quest for this week: Find opportunities to create micro-moments of connection and tell us about them!Resources mentioned in this episode:Marie's website - needtoseesomeone.com and resources here.Positivity resonance - Watch this video from Dr. Barbara Fredrickson about Positivity Resonance and Positive ConnectionRober
