Positive Psychotherapy

5 days ago

As we approach the 8th World Congress of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy in Montenegro this October, let’s draw inspiration from the very essence of our practice. Positive Psychotherapy’s five stages. Just as our method bridges cultures and nurtures growth, Montenegro’s blend of sea, mountains, and history offers a transcultural canvas for personal and professional transformation.Swipe through this visual journey:1. Observation Step back and notice the bigger picture, like viewing Budva’s coast from above.2. Inventory Take stock of what you have and what challenges you face, similar to exploring varied paths, valleys, and shores.3. Situational Encouragement Find hope in the setting, like a calm bay where land and sea come together peacefully.4. Verbalization Put feelings and thoughts into words, inspired by the open, connected spaces of Budva’s old town streets.5. Broadening of Goals Look further ahead and open new possibilities, like gazing at the wide Adriatic horizon.🌅 October is ideal: still warm, fewer people, more calm – great for focus and conversations.❗️Important note: Our congress hotel reserves rooms exclusively for participants until the end of March. After that, bookings open publicly, potentially separating you from the group or the venue itself. Secure your immersion now - register at: wapp2026.org#positivepsychotherapy #wapp2026 ...
