Session 4 - Self Help, It’s Not a Quick Fix? – Or Is It?

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
