About Dr. Hellman’s Hope-Centered Approach:
For Dr. Hellman, hope is not a simple disposition, or a routine adjustment towards the optimistic, it’s about honest and about truth. Dr. Hellman argues that hope requires constantly telling the truth about the complicated and difficult lives of others, as well as the adversity and trauma in one’s own life.
Hope, Dr. Hellman argues, is the end of blame and shame. It’s the human force around which success, happiness, and belonging spin, and one’s embrace of radical hope can change their life. Dr. Hellman’s radical approach can help professionals develop strategies they can use to nurture and increase hope in the lives of their clients as well as themselves.
