Comments/contents:
The aim of the course is to provide skills for cultivating constructive and reducing destructive emotional experiences, as well as developing mental balance and interpersonal communication. In addition to these affective and contemplative competences, CEB aims at genuine happiness (eudaemonia), thereby promoting one's own potential and personal development.
After a short introduction, the central elements of CEB, i.e. the four balances, will be presented and jointly developed. In addition to dyadic conversations and group discussions, experience-oriented exercises and guided meditations will complement the session. Solutions to overcoming mental and emotional imbalances are proposed, discussed together and modeled and worked out using real-world case studies.

Additional examination information:
Upon successful participation in the seminar, 2 credit points are awarded, which can be broken down as follows:

1st CP: Development of the topic through participation in the seminar, as well as post-processing on the course topics.
2nd CP: Active participation and short presentation of the group exercises on constructive and destructive emotional episodes.

Should you be interested in the two credit points, regular and continuous attendance (the topics of the seminar build on each other) and active engagement in the group exercises are required.
