Did I miss something? Is there a link? I do not know what we are talking about here.
__________________ When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

He also listed EMDR as something we had done and we only did one session.so maybe ACT was just as brief.

Is this the thing where you're supposed to accept that life is miserable or something? I think maybe it is. Or maybe it's you're supposed to embrace the misery you're feeling instead of trying to change it. I can't remember.
Seems dumb. I don't need instruction on how to wallow in my feelings. __________________ Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. -David Gerrold |

Basically you learn to accept good and bad thoughts as they pass through your mind with adding a judgement on the thoughts. I learned it as part of a meditation. It puts your mind at rest. Like something could be happening that you don’t like but you’re passive In judgement which prevents kinda thought spirals where things keep getting worse. Like let’s say I’m having anxiety....I might think something like oh no I’m having anxiety but this stops me from thinking other things like oh I must have done something terrible to have such anxiety or whatever...
Hope that makes sense.... __________________ Hugs!

I don't really know how to explain it. I've been given handouts from several ACT books and done some of their values clarification exercises, and done an exercise where you imagine it's your 80th birthday. I told my T I doubt I'd live that long.
I found the values clarification exercises helpful because I wasn't sure what I valued. |

It is basically putting yourself before others and creating your own set of values that one, may I choose to share with someone, be introduced as a belief in, and two, will probably be there when I return. but maybe not.

@BlessedCheeseMaker, Thought this was a good explanation of ACT: An Intro into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – You've got potential

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
