Positive Psychology is a relatively new field of psychology, but it is quickly gaining traction as a way to improve mental health and overall wellbeing. By focusing on the idea that individuals are capable of achieving a greater sense of wellbeing and happiness by actively engaging in activities that bring fulfilment, joy and other positive emotions.

Wellbeing is a complex construct that involves multiple factors, such as relationships, a fulfilling occupation, material aspects, physical health, spirituality and elements of psychological and emotional nature. As wellbeing is a subjective phenomenon, these factors have different importance for everyone and follow individual standards and criteria influenced by an individual’s value system. The holistic understanding of wellbeing that Flourished You stands for includes these factors and simultaneously considers individual differences.
Coaching as a proactive mental health intervention aims to improve performance and wellbeing or achieve a personal objective by helping clients learn rather than teaching them while maintaining a respectful, open and compassionate attitude and providing a structured process using appropriate techniques and tools. Coaching is a co-created environment to drive best quality thinking, learn about oneself and navigate change. The Flourished You approach toc coaching is also called evidence-based coaching or Coaching Psychology. Coaching Psychology is a developmental process grounded in psychological theory.
In pure coaching, the coach does not share advice on specific topics but rather guides the coachee via coaching techniques to find personal answers. However, specific psychological information and advice can certainly be provided in the session if requested.
In training, on the other hand, the trainer covers a specific topic and actively brings in expert knowledge while the participants are engaged in the elaboration of the topic.
At Flourished You, various diagnostic instruments from Psychology are used depending on the coaching or training needs to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of the measure. Qualitative experience is also considered important, which is why coaching and training is always evaluated through open questionnaires and interviews. Some results of these evaluations can be found on the respective websites.
Coaching as such has no agenda, so the client can bring anything. It is a method that can be applied in any thematic context whether career-related, relationships, leadership or personal development, the topic as such has no implication for the process of coaching since the coachee is considered the expert of his or her situation. If someone is looking for advice on a specific issue, mentoring might be the right choice.
TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE®’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE® has helped many thousands of people globally.
TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness.
