Question

Therapists use a variety of techniques to help individuals cope with work related stress. One of these is 'positive' memory', where you are encouraged to think of a happy, life-enhancing memory whenever you feel overwhelmed by stress. A similar approach is 'positive imaging', where you are directed by the therapist to look at the best-case scenario.
