Good ideas thanks

veri gud Medam

I will go to the point of vomiting.

The Montana comments had me laughing as I am an MSW student through Carroll College in Helena Montana and I'm listening to this while working on homework. I currently work at a psychiatric treatment facility called Yellowstone boys and girls ranch in Billings Montana. People pull up to our ranch at times because the sign down the road has an arrow that says Yellowstone Ranch.

Thank you so much for this video.

Do you have anything to help in the moments of Akathisia? Most horrible I deal with damage from anti anxiety meds.

Im so depressed, i basically have to break up with my practice , because i used to be able to tell them anytting , but i brought up something that happemed casually in a state that was legal (and also legal because of the compansanate care act , something allowed for ptsd and autisim , which. I have) and they treated me like a drug addict , i genuinely thought it was legal ok (which it may be) but like it went from fam , to i feel unsafe to say anything , i dont even care if i have to get my adhd /autism meds elsewhere , it was just heartbreaking. 😢

Excellent explanation of one of the hardest subjects. Thank you immediate sub and like.

ACT is not really a "therapy." It's accepting that everything is shit and pushing forward with your "values" despite it. That's the short version. I've done it, and this is how it was presented to me. PS: It doesn't really work.

I experienced my first panic attack when my best friend passed away,and it took me six months to get well again,but I'm always afraid they could come back again,what do you suggest

How can we compare this to DBT?

What a bad explanation. It is a religious way of explanation. Talking how good it is is not what it is.

Ive been doing this for decades...never knew it had a name though. I just used pavlovian responses to emotions to condition new beneficial patterns.

I have watched your videos before. I really like them usually. I hope it's OK with you, that I watch them.

That concept of creating space between thought and response is SO crucial. Even a half-second of awareness, of recognition, it is such a huge step from that "automatic" thing you mentioned, the absolute fusion with that thought, the negative self-talk, etc. If you can get a half-second, you've won a major battle.

I attended an ACT therapy group for about a year, and although it was, at first, a bit hard to wrap my head around the concept of acceptance as it relates to anxiety, I can now say it is absolutely transformative. The real trick is to keep this idea in your mind and not beat yourself up for not "noticing" and accepting the thoughts and patterns that can hold us back, and indeed start to try to learn not to "beat yourself up" at all, as that's part of the damage that comes from constantly dancing with anxiety without mindfulness and acceptance. Notice and accept even the compulsion to engage in negative self-talk ABOUT noticing and accepting! It can get very meta. It takes time, but it's so effective. Thank you for your work in this area!

You've had two... I have them pretty often

Thank you for offering your help.

As I see it ACT is not about eliminating hurtful feelings but it sure does work to tone them down. Amazing!

as I see it there's a lot of shit I can't control but that's a different animal from acceptance. Whether I can or can't control it is the same thing. With acceptance I look at that annoying politician and view him/her almost like viewing a tv screen.

I'm having a blast getting into ACT. Acceptance yeah but what nails it for me is the term radical acceptance. Wow! I go around all day repeating that term as it completely opens up that observer self, it disconnects that self from any and all that's going on at that moment.

Yeah all the shit I've dragged around my entire life. Like a sled piled with bricks. Not to mention the way that sled compelled me to act, in defense and in ways to get things to boost my ego. This is almost spooky! A waking up thing.

ACT is no more expensive than any other type of therapy.

The body knows how to move away from pain. The mind is the one that attach to it.

This is very similar to IFS therapy. The same premise of realizing your thoughts are not you.

My god this is me, PRECISELY, I had a feeling it was the wrong thing to do

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge on ACT I just recently became a counselor at a company where their core curriculum is ACT I'm enjoying it so much I love the way you present it though its really helping me a lot thank you!

My new goal is to watch this video daily. To remind myself of the journey instead of focusing on the destination. This video is exactly what I needed to hear today.

Therapy is not for me. I always knew my situation could not be fixed by therapy but people pushed/forced me into it. I had a moment of weakness and wanted to believe the lie that therapy could help me. It only made me worse. To anyone reading this, do not let anyone force you into therapy. It has to be voluntary.

It only made me worse so I am quitting. Hope it makes someone else feel better 😃

Thank u so much

sounds like a therapy for 30-something & 40-something unmarried, childless women, going through their midlife crises...

I had breast cancer in remission, since diagnosis then I have anxiety and panic. Dr said it’s only ocd not related to bc. What can I do to forget the bc and cut down the anxiety.

Not me a therapist learning how to do ACT from your book

This is outstanding that you can talk about such serious things with smile on your face

I love you. Please Marry me?

I love you. Please Marry me.

Thank you for sharing this video, finally someone explained really well how to identify your core values - this was very helpful to me, with your help I was finally able to name values in my current life without any doubt :)

Thank you so much for creating this video series, Jessica. I'd heard of ACT but never really knew what it was. Now that I've seen this overview, I feel like I've found something that will really work for me! Thank you!

Jesus Christ, please get to the point. UPD: very little said about the therapy modality itself, it's just fluff around it. The title of the video is "what is ACT? ", not "what act does?" or "conditions that benefit from act" and definitely not "I'm a cool psychologist from California, buy my book".

Tune into an exclusive interview with Binance's CEO for a sneak peek into future developments

Genuinely curious--what if it was sensory overload that put in that headspace to begin with? Trying to focus even more on the senses causes even more sensory overload and panic. What would you suggest in place of that? I find a lot of the techniques people normally give--like counting, focus on breathing, focus on 5 senses--are not helpful for me. I'm so overwhelmed that trying to do those things just adds extra anxiety. So what would you suggest for that?

I have an amazing therapist and I’m sure we will have a great conversation when it’s time

Thanks . sister. God bless you.

All words are made up though. Defusion sounds great.

This is the first time I have ever heard my experience with anxiety expressed clearly. I was mugged as well as a teenager and years later, out of nowhere, some guy approached my car quickly at a gas station ( without harmful intent) but I hyperventilated and locked the doors sitting there until it was over. I felt stupid bc “ I didn’t have it as bad as other people” but trauma is relative, especially when you have an existing mental health issue. Thank you. ♥️

"...so what's your next step going to be - right here, right now?" ---=💜=---

thank you so much!! this helped me a lot
