In this third episode, host Francine Apy discusses how positive psychology can be applied to the adoption experience. Drawing from her studies in the University of Pennsylvania's Master's in Applied Positive Psychology program, Francine talks about positive interventions—intentional activities designed to boost wellbeing. Examples include keeping a gratitude journal, performing acts of kindness, savoring moments, and creating healthy routines. She explains how these practices can be tailored to the adoption community with activities like writing gratitude letters to birth families, creating reflection rituals, and having family reflection times. Francine also introduces the concept of a 'positive introduction,' where sharing stories of strength can deepen relationships. She encourages listeners to integrate these practices into their lives to enhance emotional resilience and community connection.
