OPTIMISM AND
OVERCOMING DEPRESSION
WITH THE UPLIFT PROGRAM
Bob Murray and
Alicia Fortinberry
This highly experiential workshop offers the acclaimed breakthrough
method known as the Uplift Program for overcoming blocks to
happiness and fulfillment. This method, featured in the best-selling
book Creating Optimism: A Proven, Seven-Step Program for Overcoming
Depression, employs powerful and innovative techniques that
stimulate the brain to seek out new, more positive patterns
of beliefs, behavior, and relationships. According to the
latest research in psychology, neurobiology, anthropology,
and body/mind interactions, as well as in traditional wisdom,
the Uplift Program (www.upliftprogram.com)
has a 94 percent success rate in dramatically improving mood
and relationships.
This workshop explores the real causes of the depression
spectrum, including somatized illness, the aspects of modern
life that engender low mood and anxiety, and the effects of
childhood trauma on the brain and body. Participants will
develop unique, needs-based relationship skills that ensure
self-esteem and competence. The workshop involves the whole
self with gentle Feldenkrais®-based movement lessons,
meditation, games, rituals, and creative writing.
