Brian DiStefano wat is ACT

Me too

Cool. It's not a straight line path ... more like a roller coaster at times ... so give yourself room to stumble. There are reasons for that part. On this path you will encounter new and challenging things. You are putting down a set of old stinky lifeless problems in exchange for lots of new, scary, vital problems! So be gentle with yourself and don't let your mind claim its the source of all progress. BELIEVING in ACT is not what is needed here. It's one a step at a time process of living a different way -- one that is emotionally open, mindfully aware, and committed to a values-based behavioral journey. And consider joining that ACT for the Public Yahoo list. Great human beings. They will help.

Great stuff really helped me a lot

Can you tell me where to find it thx

Jennifer T Look up books by Robyn Walser on Amazon. She has researched PTSD using ACT.

Thank you. I'll look for it.

It's been a long while; if you still suffer panic attacks, Try DARE and “Hope and Help For Your Nerves” by Claire Weekes.

?? What’s the thing you don’t understand about ACT?

Thanks Solo. Yeah, I wish I had it earlier too! But when the student is ready, the teacher appears -- I think it takes being punched in the nose a few times before we are ready to dethrone the advisor within.

I might go with George as well. It creates tremendous distance

Sorry for the delay. There are several studies on ACT for work stress. Search for work by Paul Flaxman and Frank Bond to begin with. They have a book out that summarizes much of it: The Mindful and Effective Employee (New Harbinger). We did a study with teachers who were stressed looking at the impact of "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" (Jeffcoat and Hayes. Here is the doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2012.05.008). As for rumination, go to Google Scholar and put in "experiential avoidance" AND rumination, then repeat the search with "psychological flexibility" AND rumination. You will find dozens of relevant studies. Again, sorry for the delay.

Thanks

Milk milk milk milk!

I'll go ahead and pat myself on the back for that one first 😂😂😂

Super. I will see you there. Hey -- send the football team this link and see how that works! I've gotten very good feedback so far from people doing such things ... We've done work on acceptance and defusion in athletics, by the way, and its helpful to their actual sports performance to learn how to be psychologically flexible.

Oh, and I'm glad you noticed the different style. I did that on purpose. That first TEDx was so emotional and on the edge that some people were just freaked out (one person in the publishing industry looked at it and said he did not want to publish my books after seeing it because I'd obviously lost it!). I don't want people to think ACT is always that way in terms of style and tone. It can be funny, playful, determined, moving, compassionate, geeky -- it can be a lot of things. People are different. Not everyone can relate to the level of intensity in that first TED so you need different styles to fit the need and the topic.

Oh I am happy to hear that! I'm about to start a research project using ACT and the MAC approach to see if it improves football performance over a season. I strongly believe it will impact it positively because of my own personal experience of it but I'm really excited to see the results. I have found the ACT model to be so realistic to the human condition. Thank you

Haha I can imagine some people freaking out at the first one. I thought it was pretty courageous to put yourself out there like that and go into your personal story as well as acting it out. It made it super engaging and you can clearly see from the comments that it made it so impactful to watch. I think someone commented it was the most powerful ted talk they had ever heard! But of course, everyone is different and at different stages in their lives, so it won't ever be liked by every one, nor will anything as you know. Keep it up, you're making such an impact with people.

Two years ago when I took my son out Trick or Treating I did not have time to get into a costume so I just went out in my normal clothes ... we go up to the first door with another family arriving at the same time and this 6 year old girl from the other family looks up at me (Dr. Steven C. Hayes aka Uncle Fester) and says "You look like a monster!" It ain't fair, it ain't fair. : )

Not such a bad deal, Uncle Fester in 'Adams Family Values' = Childhood Hero...I was a weird kid. Hope my English banter came across good-humored. Absorbed the 'Get Out of Your Mind...' audiobook recently and I'm now working my way through the paperback workbook. I'm realising this is going to take some real work, but I'm excited to see where it goes. And yes, I am still acutely aware of what noise a 'Gub Gub' makes :-)

Woo! It was clearly good humored ... and I laughed out loud when I saw it. Face it. i DO look like Uncle Fester! Glad to hear that you followed thru. Check out the Yahoo Group "ACT for the Public" if you want support from folks in walking through Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life.

Hello, i hope this helps. One of the main problems, from the perspective of acceptance and commitment theraphy (ACT) is not the content of the memories or thougths but the way we react to them. Most of us have been taught to run, hide, and figth against our memories, thougths and feelings and this is a unefective aproach because most ot the time and despite our efforts, we continue to feel, think and remember the same things. If you are experiencing PTSD, is normal (and painfull or scary) to have memories and rumiation, however this is not the "problem", but how are you responding to them. So, the problem as i said is not the content, and off course we all have painfull contennts that we wish not to feel, but since them are out of our control instead we can choose to ACT and react different and route our actions into things that are still valuable for us (family, friends, work, healt, etc) despite the pain. For most of us it's difficult to understand and to conect to this perspective, however it's been prove to be one of the most efective ones in order to dealing with this "negative" feelings and memories. If maybe you want to know more about this perspective you can fin the books of Dr. Hayes and another of his colegues Kelly Wilson on amazon.
