The September 6th, 2022 meeting will feature Philip Richmond DVM, CAPP, CCFP, CRT Founder Flourishing Phoenix Veterinary Consultants, LLC. He will present on "GRATITUDE, OPTIMISM, AND SUBJECTIVE WELLBEING: VET MED’S POSITIVE EMOTION TRANSITION TEAM." This meeting is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health .
Description:
The PERMA theory of wellbeing is the work of Dr. Martin Seligman, one of the cofounders of positive psychology. The P in the acronym stands for positive emotions. Happiness, optimism, and gratitude are included in this category. The induction of positive emotion has a demonstrable, proven benefit to an individual’s overall subjective wellbeing. In the case of practicing clinicians, positive emotion has been shown to induce faster and more accurate diagnoses. Attendees will be instructed on optimism as a learned skill of resiliency——one that has to do with our explanatory style regarding events and the world around us. Gratitude practices and interventions will be covered, with an opportunity to engage.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the study of positive psychology and its roots.
2. Learn the PERMA-V theory of wellbeing.
3. Learn what determines happiness/subjective wellbeing.
4. Understand the differences between optimistic and pessimistic thinking styles.
5. Review studies on gratitude’s effects on subjective wellbeing and decision making.
This is an In-Person meeting only. There will not be a virtual option for this meeting.
