Practitioners in the fields of counselling and psychology may find the ideas presented in this chapter useful to their work with their clients/patients. Further, a framework to educate individual users about the therapeutic potential of SNS is proposed. The practical application of Facebook as a self-help tool to promote psychological well-being is explained through a hypothetical scenario. In this chapter, it is argued that SNS can be used mindfully to seek content that triggers positive emotions. According to past literature, ‘seeking gratification', particularly searching for positive emotions, is a key reason for using SNS. While some studies show that SNS such as Facebook can adversely affect the mental wellbeing of individuals, others show that Facebook use in therapeutic interventions can bring about positive results.
There is much debate about the potential harm and benefits of using SNS. Social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook have gained popularity over the years, acquiring billions of active users worldwide.
