I found you by accident. I was wondering what it was. Miracle. My focus is getting back on track. My broken pieces are coming together. Thank you very much for your work 🙏❤️🥰🌞🌞🌞💃🙌😇
thank you for uploading new ones aa!! i've been repeatedly using your vids for the last 2 weeks so this is a pleasant surprise! i appreciate what you're doing here, that's all!
Thanks so much for your uploads. I recently started MCT and your ATT is a wonderful "tool". You say the right things at the beginning of the video. That helps me when the focus flows away. Now I learned how to be kind to myself and how to gently come back into the ecercise. I'm always relaxed and calmed when finished. It's a kind of a reset and ecercise all in one. Your voice and the way you talk, take me with you full focussing.
I have started at the 2.4.2023 with this training. All three days until now I have done it 3x per day. My goal is to do it regulary as a habit at least 1x per day. I am using the audios of this channel and also other ATT audios. Have done it 2 years ago for a while. It is amazing, but I stopped to do it. Now a new start. I will update this post regulary. Good luck everyone
Stumbled onto the concept of ATT when reading about taming the DMN (which is overactive in ADHD). Phew, after this I feel like I just woke up from a relaxing nap! I have aphantasia, but for the first time felt there was a world of imagery in my head, matching these sounds, that was just beyond the black curtain of my minds eye. My eyes also REM'd out with the last two minutes. Which may just be an undiagnosed sleep related issue. Either way, relaxing as heck! I'm super stoked to try and remember to do this twice a day :)
Today when I searched for "att beginner 1" I was like where did it go, I couldn't find it. Eventually I figured out it had been renamed to number 7 😅 I thought I lost my favorite att vid lol
I found it difficult to comprehend what the voice is saying because of the noisy background and unclear recording of the voice...wondering if that is part of the exercise or a flaw of the recording?
You might want to increase the volume of your voice because your voice is hard to hear with all the noise of the birds and raindrops, frogs, steps, etc.
Is there a way to adjust this so that its more effortless to understand what is being said? Straining to hear/understand whats being said is having an opposite effect
Should I see this video, Beginner 1, today, and than Beginner 2 tommorow etc... Or keep training on number 1, and then when I feel ready, number 2? When do I know I'm ready to advance to the next videos?
In the book Live More Think Less she says to use a recording app to record your "trigger thoughts" and play them w the other sounds. Did you do this or did you just observe the thoughts as they popped up? I havent started ATT yet. Id like to find a therapist (TX, US) but it's hard to find one that is trained in MCT and takes my health insurance.
Feel free to try the videos in the intermediate and advanced category as well. You can mix as you like. The only difference is that they have more sounds at the same time.
Adrian Wells recommends in his book(Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety and Depression) to practice it twice a day, but most of his patients are only able to fit it in once a day.
Does Attention Training Technique help with increasing our attention span? Also, how long does it take on average for someone to improve their attention span or brain muscle using ATT if done with high effort?
Yes, it can improve the underlyding ability of selective attention. The exercise is not about 'training' but rather experience and discover, so effort does not predict the outcome. It doesn't recquire that many sessions. A few weeks should do it.
