​@@DocSnipes I found most useful that we can let go of our thoughts rather than getting stuck on them. That we are not our thoughts even though it seems like we are. They're automatic creations of our brains. This is very important to me because I get a lot of intrusive thoughts. Also the reframing of for instance 'I am stupid' vs 'I am having the thought I am stupid' gave me a new and detached perspective. Also the distinction between values and goals was interesting. I am still not sure I understand the difference totally. For instance; a goal can be something like 'I want to learn about ancient Egypt' whereas the value here is knowledge. I hope this is a correct understanding!

This is a great summary of ACT. However, I have a critique of the approach itself. If we are choosing values and working towards that, is that not a form of control over our thoughts/actions/feelings? Just on a high level so to speak? Also, is acceptance simply a process of saying, 'I accept the anxiety?' I'm not sure it is. Acceptance involves going through the whole process of anxiety. In other words, what does the person mean by anxiety? Do they mean they are getting heart palps etc. What does that mean? Do they think they will die? What is that like for them to happen to them right now? This is what I feel is the most significant. When we explore space opens up. Others may believe differently.

TLDR: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on mindfulness, acceptance of pain, and taking effective action guided by values to live a meaningful life. 1. 00:00 🧠 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on mindfulness, addressing destructive normality, and therapeutic interventions to help clients deal with life's challenges in a meaningful way, while accepting inevitable pain in life. 1.1 Today's presentation covers acceptance and commitment therapy skills, including the goal of ACT, mindfulness, how it differs from other approaches, addressing destructive normality and avoidance, and therapeutic interventions focusing on confronting clients' agendas and rethinking control. 1.2 People try to control their depression and anxiety, but the harder they try, the more out of control it seems, so it's important to find a variety of tools to help clients deal with life's challenges in a meaningful way. 1.3 Accept your reactions, be present, choose a value direction, and take action, based on relational frame theory. 1.4 Our ability to create links between things shapes the way we perceive and conceptualize the world, and it's important to consider if our language is the best way to think about things. 1.5 Our language can influence how we interpret situations, and functional contextualism helps us understand how to adapt our behavior in different contexts, as demonstrated by a story about a child learning the rules at different locations. 1.6 People behave differently in different situations due to changeable variables in the environment, and the goal of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is to help people create general rules to predict and influence psychological events while accepting the inevitable pain in life. 2. 08:46 🧠 Focus on creating a meaningful life based on values, make decisions and take effective action guided by those values in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 2.1 Identify what is important to you and focus on creating a meaningful life based on those values. 2.2 Make decisions based on values, as they may change over time, and take effective action guided by those values in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 2.3 Mindfulness is about consciously being aware of the present moment, and it doesn't necessarily require meditation, as there are other ways to practice it. 2.4 Clients are encouraged to become aware of their behaviors and feelings, identify their readiness for change, and focus on positive actions to support their recovery. 2.5 Learning how to deal with busy minds and difficulties with meditation in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially for clients with anxiety disorders, ADHD, or trauma histories. 2.6 Encourage clients to focus on their present moment emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations, and practice mindfulness by fully engaging in their surroundings and allowing their feelings to be as they are. 3. 15:10 🧠 Encourage acceptance of feelings, use mindfulness skills, and transform relationship with difficult thoughts to reduce suffering and avoid unnecessary negative self-talk. 3.1 Encourage people to accept and identify their feelings rather than trying to deny or change them. 3.2 Mindfulness skills in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be divided into four subsets: acceptance, diffusion, contact with the present moment, and the observing self, and can be individualized for a wide range of clinical populations and settings. 3.3 Pay attention to your environment and be more aware of what's going on around you. 3.4 ACT does not aim for symptom reduction, as the attempt to control symptoms can actually create a clinical disorder, and it's important to recognize that anxiety is a normal feeling, but it's how we respond to it that can be pathological. 3.5 Transform your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, perceive them as harmless, and let go of destructive psychological processes to reduce suffering. 3.6 Our childhood experiences shape our thinking patterns, and it's important to recognize and reframe negative self-talk to avoid unnecessary suffering. 4. 22:08 🧠 It's important to be mindful of language and avoid labeling oneself with disorders, accept and make a choice to do something, and take action towards living a valued life instead of trying to control or avoid unwanted experiences. 4.1 Attributions can lead to global, internal, and stable beliefs about oneself, which can be harmful, so it's important to be mindful of language and avoid labeling oneself with disorders. 4.2 Human language creates psychological suffering by setting us up for a struggle with our thoughts and feelings through experiential avoidance, and instead of trying to control or avoid anxiousness, it's better to accept it and make a choice to do something. 4.3 Struggling to avoid unwanted thoughts and feelings leads to more suffering, so it's important to help clients accept and chill out instead of sinking further. 4.4 Struggling to control addiction leads to obsession, frustration, and a cycle of failure. 4.5 Encouraging clients to accept and not judge their anxiety and depression, and to take action towards living a valued life, rather than trying to control or avoid their unwanted experiences. 5. 27:18 🧠 Focus on finding new strategies to bring you closer to the life you want, rather than struggling against negative emotions, and use cognitive diffusion to create distance from negative thoughts in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 5.1 Focus on finding new strategies to bring you closer to the life you want, rather than continuing to try to control symptoms that have not worked in the past. 5.2 Accepting and embracing discomfort, rather than struggling against it, is the key to overcoming negative emotions and developing psychological flexibility. 5.3 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches cognitive diffusion, which involves perceiving thoughts as transient and subjective, and not holding onto negative self-judgments. 5.4 Clients often focus on negative thoughts, but by adding a clause like "I am having the thought that," they can create distance from the thought and reduce its impact. 5.5 Thoughts are not causes, they can be silenced using diffusion techniques and treated as external events, and negative thoughts can be treated as bullies and not listened to. 5.6 Instead of arguing with negative thoughts, focus on how to fix them and move closer to your values in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 6. 37:12 🧠 Accept unpleasant experiences, unhook thoughts from feelings, identify barriers, focus on the present moment, and observe inner experiences from a distance. 6.1 Acceptance means allowing unpleasant experiences to come and go without struggling, running from, or giving them undue attention. 6.2 Unhook your thoughts from your feelings, stop battling inner experiences, and explore the effects of avoidance in order to approach situations differently. 6.3 Identify the struggle, barriers, and fears, and focus on changing what can be changed while accepting what cannot be changed. 6.4 Instead of trying to change someone, it's better to accept them as they are and focus on being fully present in the moment. 6.5 Stay focused on the present moment by identifying physical sensations and environmental factors, and practice bringing full awareness to the present moment every hour throughout the day. 6.6 You are not your thoughts, feelings, memories, urges, sensations, images, roles, or physical body, and can observe them from a distance. 7. 45:53 🧠 Clarifying values and setting goals guided by values is essential in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, helping clients identify behaviors that align with their goals and values and take effective action to achieve them. 7.1 Clarifying values is important in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and it is essential to help clients identify their values and differentiate them from goals. 7.2 Choose a direction and establish willingness to help regain control of life, set goals guided by values, and take effective action to achieve them. 7.3 Your behaviors and observable experiences are on the top, while your thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences are at the bottom, and moving towards the left side takes you away from your goals and values. 7.4 Clients are encouraged to identify behaviors that move them away from their goals or values, such as drinking to escape fear, depression, or anxiety, and to consider what moves them towards their goals instead. 7.5 Identify goals and values, and consider if actions align with them, even when facing difficult emotions. 7.6 Focus on actions and thoughts that move you towards your goals, rather than holding you back or moving you further away from where you want to be. 8. 52:37 🧠 Accepting pain and being present can reduce suffering, focus on acceptance of unwanted experiences, take action towards living a valued life using the six core principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. 8.1 Accepting pain as part of life and being present in the moment can help increase awareness and reduce psychological suffering. 8.2 Focus on developing acceptance of unwanted experiences and avoid actions designed to avoid them, as giving attention to these experiences will only make them persist. 8.3 Focus on taking action towards living a valued life, letting go of control over things you can't control, and using energy to move towards your goals, while applying the six core principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I think ACT can be useful in many contexts, but I am in agreement with the previous comments on this page about the limitations to viewing pathology as stemming from langauge. If I go to the doctor and they find a tumor, there is a chance that tumor can be malignant or non-malignant. If the tumor develops into a cancer, then I will have that cancer regardless of whether or not doctors want to acknowledge or label it. The language I used did not create the tumor at all. Similarly, eating disorders and addictions are medical conditions and the patient who endorses symptoms may deny this-- They still have the condition, whether they verbalize it. I used eating disorders as an example since the symptoms are not so invisible as the other spectrum of disorders, however the same applies to any other condition. They are silent illnesses. Illnesses--- not because of meeting symptom criteria but because of how they may impact quality of life and mortality. To say that "anxiety" is common and normal because "everybody has a fight-or-flight system" is accurate, however again, some tumors are non-malignant and some are malignant. Same applies to PTSD, to BPD, to depression, to schizophrenia. Labels are constructs of language, but illnesses are so real, especially to the SMI population.

Pathologizing language is a problem for ACT. I regularly visualize and it mostly does not involve language; it can, but it doesn't have to. In fact, some people have trouble imagining dialogue to themselves. I just don't see why ACT needs to have this tension with language. Claiming that language is the source of suffering is an intriguing claim, but -- evidence for this aside -- I don't think it's need for ACT to be beneficial.

Also, trauma can occur before language in development. A newborn that is traumatized, wither acutely or chronically, often internalize these events which lead to mal-adaptive coping behaviors, including thoughts, later in life. However, these thoughts need not be language based as they where formed before the child had language as a possible coping mechanism.

Great point. Humans often think in pictures. I don’t know ACT, but I know CBT, Mindfulness... The thing that makes it quite difficult to live with a physical disability is that flex time has very little flexibility. What I was in Grad school, the profs asked for volunteers to develop a well-defined, comprehensive to model systems... up to that point, notation was focused on systems, or math/science. Perhaps we could talk about this topic a bit more... Now that I know I have significant diseases I need to understand what my behavior should be. There’s the disadvantage of a team of specialists... no one is the general contractor. I’m actually reading the book my immunologist used in Med School... it’s a great book... is starts out at 430k feet for general background and then drills down... slow going but very helpful.. I also need to tailor CBT to my particular situation.. I’m going to send you a friend request so that we can talk via messages. I promise that I will not be a pest... if I am, tell me to shut up or unfriend me. There’s a lot going on right now and I’m hoping that we are able to tailor the process to our needs. BEST -Scott

It’s ironic because ACT teaches not to think in absolutes, yet claims an absolute that language causes suffering. I think a healthier way to approach the topic of language is to acknowledge that language CAN facilitate suffering, and language CAN ALSO facilitate growth & healing. Everything exists in duality and I think viewing language in terms of duality is more effective than this approach to demonize language altogether

@deangelomccoy3468

language isn't only spoken ... It's found in our body expression ad well. We have an attachment or association to language be it verbal or physical, and that association is where the suffering exists. I think of it as leaning towards context over content. The content will exist, but without properly assessing the context it's existing on creates false perceptions.

@MatthewTeeters404

"Claiming that language is the source of suffering is an intriguing claim, but -- evidence for this aside -- I don't think it's need for ACT to be beneficial." ACT doesn't pathologize any behavior, certainly not language. It's not the language itself, it's language processes that are prone to having undesirable consequences, some talk about "languaging" as a behavior (ACT is behaviorist). She didn't really explain the theory of language behind ACT (relational frame theory). The way we learn language amounts to a symbolic trigger - i.e. the word "lemon" will evoke the same reaction as the fruit itself when talking about eating lemons, or the feeling of sadness when hearing words associated with a loss years ago. There is more to it, but essentially start with the idea that a word becomes a "stimulus equivalent", and then see how words connect into networks instead of needing to learn every relationship individually. So knowing one set of relationships will also connect one to things far outside that relationship. As an example, someone who has had a long history of physically exhausting dead end jobs has a set of assumptions about self-worth and futility keyed to a certain physical state of exhaustion. After years of doing well at a new job, they find themselves worn down after taking their kids to a sporting event, they feel exhausted, and then begin to have a feeling of hopelessness, followed by self-critical thoughts about their self worth. There is no connection between sports or kids or even their new job and these feelings, but the common association with a particular sense of exhaustion triggers the old associations in a new context - just like imagining biting the lemon evokes the physical response. There's a lot more to it when we get into relational frames (e.g. larger/smaller, better/worse, etc.) around language, but my point here is that ACT doesn't pathologize language, it simply points to the automatic nature of these ever increasing connections, connections that trigger emotions as if we are in the presence of an experience long past. This is why ACT, unlike CBT, isn't concerned with "correcting thoughts" or reframing feelings, but cultivates acceptance of private experience while doing things that matter.

ACT is a form of therapy that involves ongoing processing and is not a technique. From what I understand, Acceptance in ACT isn't about accepting what has happened as correct, it's saying for us to make room for such experiences, emotions, or thoughts (it is what it is) without judgment by acknowledging them that says, "Yes I am feeling this way or yes, this did happen to me." Because avoiding such feelings, experiences, or experience may cause us to engage in maladaptive behaviors that bring us more suffering or issue in the long run (ex: drinking relieves stress short term but long run it can affect your health). Observing self means that we see ourselves outside of our experiences (this doesn't mean are avoiding it, it means we are to able to differentiate who we are from these thoughts, emotions, and experiences in which we are caught up in). Kind of like a self-awareness in which we notice we are experiencing these thoughts, emotions, and experiences yet it does not define who we are as a person.
