Tho#"h( "enerally we #se some selected words for
happiness or #nhappiness( there are deep meanin"s in all
these words. .or instance( the word passion is a positive
feelin" that describes the b#rnin" desire to do somethin".
&nd( the word depression describes some #neApectedness
or sorrow towards somethin". 2hile the word anAiety
relates to the worry of f#t#re.
Here is a short introd#ction to some of positive and ne"ative
feelin"s( we feel in o#r daily life. &s a happiness coach( yo#

technically and scientifically.

ca#sed by an eAistin" stress-ca#sin" factor or Nstressor.N

More than ?#st a bo#t of the bl#es( depression isnMt a
weakness( nor is it somethin" that yo# can simply Nsnap
o#tN of. $epression may re)#ire lon"-term treatment. *#t

ANXIETY is a "eneral term for several disorders that ca#se
nervo#sness( fear( apprehension( and worryin". These
disorders affect how we feel and behave( and they can
manifest real physical symptoms. Mild anAiety is va"#e and
#nsettlin"( while severe anAiety can be eAtremely
debilitatin"( havin" a serio#s impact on daily life.
0eople often eAperience a "eneral state of worry or fear
before confrontin" somethin" challen"in" s#ch as a test(
eAamination( recital( or interview. These feelin"s are easily
?#stified and considered normal. &nAiety is considered a
problem when symptoms interfere with a personMs ability to
sleep or otherwise f#nction. <enerally speakin"( anAiety
occ#rs when a reaction is o#t of proportion with what mi"ht

.irst of all( in this section( we present a brief introd#ction of
some well known models( practiced in todayEs world.
COGNITIVE EHAVIORA! THERAPY 4C*T5 eApanded
the theory of behaviorism by lookin" at tho#"hts as well as
actions. Co"nitive-behavioral therapy stresses that specific
thinkin" patterns ca#se depression. $oes sadness leave yo#
thinkin" that thereEs no way o#t3 &re yo#r tho#"hts an
endless stream of self-critical statements3 $o yo# think in
all-or-nothin" terms3 n this therapy( yo# meet once a week
with a therapist to be"in identifyin" the belief systems yo#
#se on a daily basis. The "oal in C*T is to correct
#nrealistic beliefs and distorted tho#"hts by replacin" them
with more realistic attit#des. +ssentially( chan"in" how yo#
think will chan"e the way yo# feel.
CON"RONTING is how we deal with ne"ative or
disr#ptive behavior or less-than-acceptable ?ob
performance.
COUNSE!ING is a short-interval( problem-solvin" process
that tar"ets a specific sit#ation. The co#nselor offers advice
and s#""estions.
MENTORING is a str#ct#red process for providin"
personal "#idance and s#pport to someone who is less
eAperienced or new to the "ame- whatever the conteAt may
be( b#t most commonly in ed#cation( trainin" and
employment conteAts. Mentors act as critical b#t non-
?#d"mental friends( provide a role model and a so#rce of
#sef#l information and advice( and can take on a coachin"
task 4helpin" to improve performance5.
Mentorin" is the process of dealin" with Rindivid#alsE in
terms of their total personality in order to advise( co#nsel
and 6or "#ide them thro#"h partic#lar life challen"es
www.kamyaby.or"
The Kolachi Method : Level 2
PSYCHOTHERAPY is the treatment of emotional conflicts
thro#"h the #se of talkin" and comm#nicatin" with a
trained professional. &lso known as Ktalk therapy(L
psychotherapy is practiced by psycholo"ists( psychiatrists(
social workers( and psychiatric n#rse practitioners. There
are many different schools of psychotherapy( each one
workin" from a #ni)#e model of mind and behavior.
Tho#"h the schools differ in approach and techni)#e( they
all share the same "oal: to red#ce #nhappiness symptoms.
&s far as evidence-based research "oes( all traditional talk
therapies can be effective in red#cin" mild-to-moderate
depressive symptoms.
TEACHING is the word traditionally #sed to refer to those
who shape( "#ide and accompany learnin" processes in
schools( colle"es and - to some eAtent = hi"her ed#cation.
Teachin" relates to helpin" a person develop co"nitive skills
and capabilities. The "oal of teachin" is "enerally to assist
people to increase competencies and Rthinkin" skillsE
relevant to an area of learnin". Teachin" foc#ses on the
ac)#isition of "eneral co"nitive abilities( rather than on
partic#lar performances in specific sit#ations. & teacher
helps a person to develop new strate"ies for thinkin" and
actin". The emphasis of teachin" is more on new learnin"
than on refinin" oneEs pervio#s performance 4as it is the
case in coachin"5.
TRAINING is the word traditionally #sed to refer to those
who shape( "#ide and accompany learnin" processes in the
initial and contin#in" vocational ed#cation and trainin"
sectors.
Trainer is #s#ally seen as an instr#ctor of techni)#es or
skills on a specific s#b?ect.
COACHING is relatively a new form of profession that is
profo#ndly different from cons#ltin"( mentorin"( advice(
therapy( or co#nselin".

The answer is probably that depression and lack of contact
with other people infl#ence one another.
o- .or eAample( a chan"e of school can mean leavin" a lot
of friends behind. This can make yo# feel sad. f when yo#

yo#r sadness can become depression. .eelin" depressed

CO$NITIVE BEHAVIOR THERA&Y or C*T can be an
effective way to def#se ne"ative 4destr#ctive5 tho#"hts.
St#dies have shown that co"nitive therapy works at least as
well as antidepressants in helpin" people with mild to
moderate depression. 2hen #sed for #nhappiness( C*T
provides a mental toolkit that can be #sed to challen"e
ne"ative tho#"hts. ,ver the lon" term( co"nitive therapy for
#nhappiness can chan"e the way an #nhappy person sees

Co"nitive therapy was developed in the 1OIHs as an
alternative way to treat depression. The principle #nderlyin"
co"nitive therapy is Ntho#"hts infl#ence moods6behaviors.N
&ccordin" to co"nitive therapists( #nhappiness is
maintained by constant ne"ative tho#"hts. These tho#"hts
are known as a#tomatic tho#"hts. That means they occ#r
witho#t a conscio#s effort.
Co"nitive Therapy for $epression1 Co"nitive therapy posits
that most problems have several parts. Those parts incl#de:
the problem as the person sees it
the personMs tho#"hts abo#t the problem
the personMs emotions s#rro#ndin" the problem
the personMs physical feelin"s at the time
the personMs actions before( d#rin"( and after the

become mana"eable.
$#rin" re"#lar co"nitive therapy sessions( a trained
therapist or happiness coach teaches the tools of co"nitive

therapy. Then between sessions( the patient often does
homework. That homework helps the person learn how to
apply the tools to solve specific life problems.
Treatment with this therapy can shorten the intensity of

&SYCHOTHERA&Y @ &SYCHOANAYSIS or
0sychoanalytic therapy is one of the most well-known
treatment modalities( b#t it is also one of the most
mis#nderstood by mental health cons#mers. This type of

0sychoanalytic therapy looks at how the #nconscio#s mind

hypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to b#siness and

&ccordin" to *andler and <rinder( 'L0 comprises a
methodolo"y termed modelin" and a set of techni)#es that
were derived from its initial applications by *andler and
<rinder. Many of those methods that have come to be
considered f#ndamental were derived from the initial
modelin" by *andler and <rinder of the work of 8ir"inia

transformational "rammar( as well as ideas and techni)#es
from Carlos Castaneda. *andler and <rinder claim that the
