Welcome to ACT on Mental
Welcome to ACT on Mental Health! I'm Shaun, a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana. In today's video, we'll explore anxiety and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help effectively manage symptoms by aligning with our values.
For years, I battled anxiety without realizing it. ACT played a crucial role in breaking free from the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing driven by anxiety. In this video, I'll share insights that work for various types of anxiety, whether diagnosed or everyday worries.
🔍 Sections Breakdown
1. Understanding Anxiety From An ACT Perspective:
- Anxiety disorders are prevalent, and considerable resources address them. Barlow's 2003 research reveals the financial impact on those diagnosed.
- Differentiating fear and anxiety, their functions, and why avoidance turns anxiety into a problem.
2. ACT Techniques for Immediate Relief:
- Introducing the "Workability Scale" – a downloadable resource for self-assessment.
- Exploring exposure exercises to confront fear scenarios and immediate relief techniques, including FEEL exercises.
- Specific FEEL exercises like Spinning, Hyperventilating, Breathing Through a Straw, Breath Holding, Climbing Steps, and Staring at Self in the Mirror.
3. Avoiding Fear and Anxiety at All Costs:
- Looking into the challenge of avoiding feelings, thoughts, and situations associated with anxiety.
- Unpacking how avoidance shapes lives and becomes restrictive, leading to disordered experiences.
- Highlighting ACT's perspective on language's role in experiential avoidance to escape the feedback loop of reinforcement that avoidance strategies create.
