Happyzine 2015 = exciting times ahead

Ali Scott runs a 6-week evening course teaching the thinking styles and belief systems conducive to being happier.

The courses have been running for two years now and Ali, a trained teacher, writer and therapist says the feedback is really positive. “People say it’s simple, practical and inspiring. They also say it’s fun; that’s because we are learning and practicing in class, skills that lead to feeling more relaxed, at ease, curious, and interested which means fun is easier to have, which can’t be a bad thing right now in Christchurch.”

Research from Positive Psychology has shown that these types of skills can be learnt and that they do improve your feelings of well-being.

“Doing the course can be especially helpful for people taking medication for depression. says Ali.

“A lot of medication has been prescribed in Christchurch recently, and understandably so. Some people may now be thinking about reducing or coming off medication. We’ve had a number of people in this situation doing the courses and they’ve found the skills they’ve learnt have given them real emotional and mental strength.”

The next course starts on 28th February. Phone 027 348 7074 or visit nlptherapy.org.nz for more information.
