“Hope Therapy”

I had to laugh when I read the article in the March 2010 Ode Magazine on “hope therapy.” It is based on the premise “people who believe they can move toward their goals will feel positive emotions.”

This is something a clinical psychologist wrote a book about and apparently there have been numerous STUDIES to establish it. So now if you are like my husband and hate anecdotal evidence as the basis for knowledge, you have a more scientifically established option.

The article ends by cautioning those who might want to try it “finding a therapist isn’t necessarily easy.”

The article didn’t mention coaching at all. I don’t know which professional is ripping off which, but maybe I should put “hope therapist” as a keyword that pops up on search engines!
