Struggling with anxiety, depression or other “negative” emotions and disorders
April 6, 2021/
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a lot of my clients who struggle with issues like depression,
anxiety, OCD, social phobia and more.
ACT gives us a path to help you move out of a stuck place into a life filled with meaning and purpose.
This short little video demonstrates a technique used in ACT to “defuse” from the cycle of negative emotions that we can find ourselves caught in.
We may notice that we’re having that familiar feeling of depression. As soon as we notice it, something like a switch goes off and we get all tangled up with our depression. We may then begin to feel angry that we’re depressed again, and upon noticing we feel angry, we may then feel sad that once again we’re swept up in the feelings of depression.
The short video demonstrates an alternative to “struggling” – a “Struggle Switch.”
