Starting Increased happiness counseling

What is increased happiness counseling?

Increased happiness counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville is typically determined through collaboration between the client and therapist.

Counseling to Increase Happiness in Knoxville, TN

How do happy people maintain their joy even when life is hard? The Internet has countless suggestions about which foods to eat, how power poses could help, and the right number of friends to have for optimum happiness. But do these actually work? Can people change how much happiness they feel?

Research has recently shown that people can adjust the amount of happiness they feel. In many ways, happiness is like an emotional muscle: with exercise and time, people can strengthen and increase the joy they feel. The more people train their mind to feel happy, the more they may feel happy.

If people can increase their happiness, how can they distinguish between exercises that boost joy and those that are simply clickbait? Thriveworks Knoxville has helped many clients increase their happiness, and find a fulfilling, joyful life. Our professionals are experienced and skilled—we know how to guide each client through the emotional work it takes to increase their happiness. Reach out today for help.

Emotional Habits that Kill Happiness

No one can (or should) control another person, and often, circumstances are also out of people’s control. Boosting personal happiness often begins by identifying habits that are within a person’s control that may be hindering their joy. There are many things people do that undermine their own happiness, and a few of these habits include:

  • Comparison: Measuring what one has or does by comparing it to what other have and do is a recipe for unhappiness. Instead, comparison cultivates feelings of superiority or inferiority.
  • Entitlement: Sitting back and waiting for joy to appear, as if it is deserved will lead to resentment, not happiness. Delight, cheer, joy, and happiness often come from an active stance as opposed to a passive stance.
  • Control: People often allow things outside of their control to determine their happiness. They may think, If I were tall and skinny, I would be so happy. Reality is they can be perfectly happy in their current situation.
  • Blame: There is always an excuse not to be happy. Blame disempowers people instead of equipping them to make difference choices and cultivate different thoughts that could truly lead to joy.

Emotional Habits that Promote Happiness

Mental health professionals can help people identify emotional habits that promote happiness. Each person’s emotional life is unique, but many people need to offset their negative habits with positive emotional habits that promote happiness. Little, daily shifts can add up to feeling happier. Habits that may lead to more joy may include…

  • Prioritizing thankfulness – Listing just three things to be thankful for can lead to happiness. Thankfulness focuses people’s attention upon what is good and right in the world.
  • Practicing mindfulness – Be in the moment. Notice every thought, feeling, and sensation as it arises. Paying attention without judgment may increase a person’s awareness and may lead to more happiness.
  • Striving toward a goal – Choose an achievable personal or professional target and work toward it. Being proactive about life often promotes joy.
  • Changing one’s mindset – People can learn new skills, habits, knowledge, feelings, and more. Being open to new experiences and new growth often means people are open to being happier.

I like that I am given lots of materials to work with to solidify what I have learned and go back to when I forget what was talked about. I also love that I feel like my experiences or knowledge of therapy isnt a barrier because I am met where I am on skills. Im given information where i lack knowledge and we are able to move on when i already understand a skill.

Brittany Tyler is an amazing therapist that has helped me realize so many truths about myself. She pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best way to improve my mental health. I have received so much clarity from our sessions, and I truly don't know where I would be without her support, validation, and encouragement. I would recommend her to anyone, because she is able to meet the client where they are at to provide the best results. I feel understood, and challenged in the most effective way. Her knowledge is so expansive, and as a therapist myself I have been thoroughly impressed with her technique. She is truly incredible at her job and I am thankful to be her client.
