Six Core Principles of ACT
Mindful contact with the present moment
De-fusion- Separate self from feelings / experience
Acceptance of what is
Values Identification
The Observing Self- Fly on the wall
Purposeful Action
"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf" Kabat-Zinn 2004
Distracting oneself from distress is akin to constantly running away from one’s shadow. In the attempt to control the negative thoughts and feelings, one is at a loss for control in other life situations.
Symptom reduction is not a goal of ACT
Attempting to get rid of “symptoms” actually creates more distress
Private experience is labeled a symptom  a struggle with the symptom
A “symptom” is by definition something “pathological” and something we should try to get rid of.

I listen to your videos a night for thirty minutes and in the morning. Sometimes I journal when I’m listening. I work as a shuttle driver at a homeless shelter. Sometimes my job is very rewarding and fuflling. Other times I feel overwhelmed. But I know these videos are helping me create coping skills and work towards my own rich and meaningful life. I appreciate your presence on RUclips. Thank you 🤗

[@DocSnipes]

You’re so welcome. Thank you so much for watching and for sharing. What would you say are your favorite tips from the videos?

[@DocSnipes]

How might ACT's focus on learning to live with distress instead of thinking we must eliminate it to have a happy life be a great tool for people in the current climate?

[@bonniegriffin6743]

Definitely helpful in a pandemic we don't have control of!

EA ; God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change.
The courage to change the one I can.
And the wisdom to know that one is me.

Thanks Madame Director Snipes

[@PuntedKitten]

Wow, this might be helpful to teach clients. I'm 4 minutes in and this makes so much sense with how perception and relationships to people and reality can go wrong. Trauma can create a schema that provokes intense fear, helplessness, abandonment, opposition, etc that become the template for strategies that solve short term problems, but if they go unchecked become long term issues.

Thank you for focusing on ACT! I combine it with ERP for OCD and anxiety. It was great to see it come up on your channel today.😊

[@DocSnipes]

Thanks for watching.

[@jefesalsero]

I use mostly CBT and DBT, but will consider ACT on a PRN basis.

[@georgelee6972]

Thank you so much for this! It would be really helpful if the slides were larger, and using a smaller video in the corner, this would make it easier to take pictures of the slides for notes / later use

[@DocSnipes]

I previously did the small corner thing.... Viewers overwhelmingly wanted my image larger. Channel is doing well, probably sticking with the large format.

[@DocSnipes]

I do appreciate the feedback. 😀

I feel so intensely uncomfortable and alone everytime I hear rich and meaningful life, especially in relation to most concepts mentioned. I won't really imagine anything in those terms for the next few years, but it's nice to try to remember it's a concept
