What is the theory behind this worksheet?
Gratitude is the feeling of gratefulness for the good things or blessings in life. It is like someone reflecting on how lucky he is for having something good. The underlying theories include the principles of “Positive psychology”- which focuses on positive aspects of human life, such as happiness, gratitude, strengths, and fulfillment. And the therapy that aligns with it is:
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) – DBT focuses on providing therapeutic skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The practice of gratitude in DBT has proven to improve one’s mental health and well-being.
- Mindfulness – means to be present in the moment without judgment, and when it is integrated into DBT encourages individuals to be aware of and appreciate the positive aspects of life.
