SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Feb. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — “In Your Right Mind,” a weekly radio program that features in-depth roundtable discussions of today’s behavioral health headlines, aired an informative show, “Cultivating Happiness” on Sunday, January 21 at 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Talk Radio 790 AM KABC in Los Angeles. The broadcast discussed about happiness and positive psychology and how it can foster well-being and recovery of individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders. The show was hosted by Tonmoy Sharma, M.B.B.S., M.Sc., founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sovereign Health, who provides an in-depth medical and clinical expertise, and Stefanie Wilder-Taylor.
The broadcast featured Amy Krentzman, Ph.D., as a panelist. Dr. Krentzman is an assistant professor at the School of Social Work and at the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota. She is also an adjunct research investigator in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School.
“Traditional treatment approaches aim to reduce suffering and decrease pathology, but happiness is not just about the absence of mental and physical illness,” says Dr. Sharma. “It seems like positive psychology emphasizes on character building is also in the 10-Step Program where you are talking about learning daily to spot, admit and correct flaws is the essence of character building and good living.”
Positive psychology focuses on mental wellness, strengths, well-being and optimal functioning, rather than traditional approaches that focus on the pathology, pain and suffering of individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders.
“In addiction treatment, addressing problems, pathology and illness may bring other complications,” says Dr. Amy. “Positive traits like gratitude, optimism, spirituality, forgiveness of self and others, changes in social support and networks, purpose in life and positive activities that align with individual values, are beneficial for people in treatment and recovery for substance use disorders.”
