This week Peter and Stephen talk about Self Help, It’s Not a Quick Fix....or maybe somtimes it is!

 

From the show

ACT = Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

3 pillars – OPEN – AWARE – ACTIVE = Psychological Flexibility
OPEN  

1. Acceptance = Make room for whatever shows up inside of you – ‘let whatever happens  be OK.  Notice your resistance to what is

2. Notice that your thoughts are just thoughts – Fusion and Defusion
AWARE

1. Use this Moment to bring your awareness to this exact moment – without Judgement = Mindfulness

2. Self as Context = you are big enough to contain all of your internal experiences as they  happen – no need for overwhelm
ACTIVE

1. Take Purposeful action in the service of what you care about - Values – What's important to you

2. Choose the direction that you want to head in - The Choice Point
