Multiple sclerosis sucks; I should know, I’ve got it. Luckily, it is possible to grow from terrible things and a field of psychology, known as Positive Psychology, can help us to understand how. Each week we take a look at a new field of the science of Psychology, we understand and implement the science, and together as a community we’re going to learn to thrive in the context of Multiple Sclerosis.

Episode 4: Optimism

Optimism turns out to be quite an important factor in helping people to grow following a trauma, but if you're anything like me it might be difficult to be optimistic in the context of an MS diagnosis. Happily, there might be a couple of good ideas in the literature for how we plant the seed of optimism in the garden of our mental health; first, we consider the Best Possible Self intervention, and then we start to consider Mindfulness.
