Experiencing an awareness of our thoughts and the impact they have is our first tool for regaining control over them. This video exercise is meant to help you identify what thoughts are influencing your current state of being, view and explore those thoughts from an objective standpoint, and finally defuse the power they hold in your day.
This video exercise is adapted from a wonderful researcher and clinician, Steven C. Hayes, and his development of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In The Observing Self, Deikman deliberates how mystical psychology tradition attended to the problems of associated with the idea of self and human progress.
