Meet Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein! Dr. Barbara is a positive psychologist who's mission and pleasure is to teach YOU to put joy back into YOUR life, while increasing YOUR enthusiasm and energy! What started out for Dr. Barbara as a research project to see what messages we absorb as girls in our society, led instead to a ‘secret’ about women that she felt had to be revealed and emphasized. The ‘secret’ is that we have great capacities for happiness and pleasure and joy. However, the dark side of the ‘secret’ is that we don’t know how to use these capacities to our advantage. Sometimes we even forget they are there. The results of not being happy as women can be incredibly painful for all of us. There can be a loss of energy, both physical and emotional, which will interfere with mental health and the fulfillment of one’s desires. There can even be chronic depression. Dr. Barbara uses her; Seven Gateways of Happiness for Women, to help you increase self esteem, find inspiration, increase optimism, experience positive feelings and finally achieve the state known as 'enchantment'. Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein been a positive psychologist in private practice and licensed in the states of New Jersey and Massachusetts since 1981.
