Balanced Time Perspective in Therapy and Coaching workshop | DIS – Study Abroad | 05.10.2022

Thank you, #HappinessLab from DIS – Study Abroad Copenhagen, for joining us this week at the Balanced Time Perspective in Therapy and Coaching workshop.

It was a pleasure to educate the new generation about time perspective theory, balanced time perspective profile and introduce various practical interventions.      

Students got to see different cases, for example, a typical profile of someone struggling with anxiety, depressive episode or work-related stress and burnout, etc. 

We looked into the process of working with a prospective client step-by-step: 

– Performing initial assessment of the time perspective profile.

– Working with the profile: taking into account the individual, culture and context of the current situation.

– Learned about ‘reading between the lines’ of the profile numbers.

– Discussed and exercised various tools and interventions aimed at creating a higher level of balance in one’s time perspective.

Students were introduced to different exercises aimed at activating a positive past, or mindful present or possible future. For example, we went on a silent mindful walk, shared our observations and experiences after it, and discussed the importance of noticing how we notice.

As a result of the workshop, participants shared that they felt more relaxed, that they became more aware about their own past, present and future, that working with clients is not a “one recipe that fits all” but that it is a journey and discovery of a personal approach and that they have the tools that they can apply themselves to improve the level of balance of their time perspectives. 

It has been a great pleasure to lead this workshop and we are looking forward to seeing how the approaches discussed today will be applied in daily lives. 

If you are a practitioner (psychologist, therapist or coach) and interested to learn more about the Balance Time Perspective Coaching please join our educational seminar on it. 

If you are interested in self-development and learning more about your personal time perspective profile and how to reach more balance, you can join the course “Where is my time?” or reach out for an individual consultation. 

Many of the Creative Time Studio’s workshops are tailor-made, so don’t hesitate to reach out by requesting a workshop that fits your organization, class or group’s needs.

Psychology of Time and Well-Being

Dear friends and colleagues, please help me to record a guest lecture for a Positive Psychology course – I find it extremely difficult to talk without an actual audience.

Time: Apr 5, 2020 05:00 PM Copenhagen

During this talk I will:
– give a very very very brief intro to how time is studied in psychology,
– how I ended up in this research field, in which I’m ‘stuck’ now for almost 20 years (celebrating my anniversary this August),
– what is a time perspective and what is a balanced time perspective profile
– I will talk about my research on the balanced time perspective profile in Russia and in Sweden.

I also usually have some tips on what can be done to achieve it, I might adjust it as a response to the current new conditions for many of us.
You will also have an opportunity to take the test and discover your own temporal profile.

We can also have a Q&As session at the end of the talk.
