Increased happiness counseling FAQs

What is increased happiness counseling?

Increased happiness counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Grand Rapids, MI guides clients in cultivating gratitude, resilience, and a deeper understanding of their own values and goals. The aim of increased happiness counseling is to empower individuals to lead happier and more fulfilling lives by promoting a greater sense of personal satisfaction and emotional equilibrium.

How does increased happiness counseling work?

Therapists who specialize in increased happiness counseling can utilize a diverse array of methods, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, mindfulness exercises, and the principles of positive psychology to assist you in nurturing qualities like gratitude, resilience, and a deeper comprehension of your values and aspirations. The primary objective of increased happiness counseling is to empower you to live a more joyful and satisfying life, fostering an enhanced sense of personal contentment and emotional balance.

Is increased happiness counseling conducted in person or online?

Increased happiness counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does increased happiness counseling last?

Some individuals may achieve their objectives to gain insights and strategies for enhancing their happiness in just a few sessions. In contrast, others may opt for an extended counseling journey to address deeper emotional concerns and establish lasting happiness and well-being. The frequency and duration of your sessions during counseling in Grand Rapids is typically determined through collaboration between the client and therapist.

Counseling to Increase Happiness—Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

The therapists at Thriveworks Grand Rapids have helped many people live happier lives. If you are ready to prioritize your happiness, we are ready to help.

Simply call or book online to get started today.

Resilient Joy

Happiness that remains steady when life is a rollercoaster is never rooted in the circumstances of life. Consider, for example, these scenarios.

  • Last weekend, your team lost the big game in overtime, and you have had a hard time getting out of bed since.
  • The restaurant is out of the entrée you had been looking forward to ordering. Now, the whole evening out is ruined.

Sabotaging Happiness

Certain habits undermine people’s joy. Switching up these habits may stimulate fulfillment and satisfaction.

  • Comparison: Eyeing someone else’s situation, possessions, and/or actions inevitably results in feelings of superiority or inferiority, not joy.
  • Blame: Accusations and criticism means that energy is wasted on finger pointing instead of problem solving. Unresolved issues often grow and smother happiness.
  • Entitlement: As Thomas Jefferson wrote in The Declaration of Independence, happiness is to be pursued. Waiting on unearned joy to arrive means people are wasting their time.

Strengthening Happiness

Just as people have control over cutting out emotional habits that sabotage their happiness, they can also learn emotional habits that strengthen their happiness. This task may seem impossible, but a lot of people have learned the secret: little steps go a long way.

Therapists can often help people pinpoint which emotional exercises will help them the most. Usually, strengthening happiness involves a future, present, and past element:

  • Setting a goal – Working toward a target can bring focus to people’s daily lives. Setting personal and professional goals that are achievable also means people experience regular rewards.
  • Practicing mindfulness – Cultivate self-awareness without analyzing or judging. Let any feelings, thoughts, and sensations arise. Be present and observe.
  • Promoting thankfulness – When people take time to talk about or write down things for which they are grateful, they are teaching themselves to look for good things in life. Soon, they may start to see opportunity, beauty, and kindness they had previously missed.

Chris always follows my lead, and lets the healing take place very organically. We start where we left off last week, but always with the question of what's new; so that I can choose to follow up, or bring up new topics. My therapist has demonstrated a wealth of knowledge in psychology and modern therapeutic techniques. I feel like I'm getting the cutting-edge of tested therapeutic methods.
