Nächste Woche dürfen wir Frau Dr. Elena Fischer bei uns begrüßen, wir freuen uns auf spannenden Input zum Thema Prospektion & Selbstregulation und einen angeregten Austausch. 🧠🧘💭 Abstract: My talk will focus on the connection between prospection and self-regulation, both on a theoretical level and in practical work with clients and patients. Prospection refers to the cognitive ability to imagine personal future possibilities, while self-regulation encompasses the flexible control of behavior, emotions, and attention. Beyond exploring the theoretical relationship between the two constructs, the talk will highlight their fundamental importance for mental health. I will discuss the consequences of impairments in the ability to prospect and self-regulate, as often observed in mental disorders. Building on these theoretical foundations, I will present practice-oriented models that facilitate the adaptive integration of prospection and self-regulation and can serve as useful frameworks for therapy and coaching. Finally, specific exercises and tools that strengthen both prospection and self-regulation will be presented, including a demonstration of one exemplary exercise.
