very good but if you could speak a little slower.

The concept of creative hopelessness in ACT is powerful indeed: contextualconsulting.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Creative-Hopelessness-Russ-Harris.pdf Creative hopelessness is a concept in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It refers to the realization that the strategies a person has been using to manage or eliminate their unwanted thoughts or feelings are not only ineffective but may actually exacerbate their problems. This realization can lead to a sense of hopelessness about the old ways of doing things, which in turn opens up space for new, more effective strategies. The 'creative' part refers to the idea that this hopelessness can be a catalyst for change.

This is so helpful, Jim! I find your delivery of ACT materials to be quite interesting and enticing ❤. In your groups where you teach and guide practitioners, your approach is accepting, patient, humble and so clear to understand! Thank you for everything.❤

Thank you I’m keen to learn skills and develop using the ACT approach within my PWP role , how do I sign up to the ACT community ? I do receive your open forwards updates

Thank you for your perspective. It really helped me. I will follow up on your book recommendations.

Good morning Dr gillard

Do clients often have a negative reaction to this exercise?

Short, succint and helpful. Thanks

Seems like a great opportunity for someone here. After experiencing Jim’s trainings I can highly recommend this - he’s been a big influence on my own practice. Good luck everyone.

I still don't get it. Why is ACT so damn abstract? I get the questions but not the concept. It's a whole lot to ask of clients to think in these abstract terms

Thanks for the video Jim. Nice overview of the differences between traditional CBT and ACT. I hope the taster course goes well - I love how accessible ACT is and I hope people take this opportunity to learn more about it and how it can be helpful in their practice.

You can register for this taster session at www.openforwards.com/act-training/act-courses/taster

This looks incredible! I am so sorry to only be learning about it now. Was it taped? May I purchase it?

I think that is what bothers me most about "better at feeling". It's contrary to my way of thinking. Although pain is layered when I avoid it. I have learned this the hard way. I still wobble back and forth with the working out of it daily.

Very good topic Thank you

Thank you a lot for this video, By the way if it's up to me I'll pick you as a James Bond's new replacement .

Thanks for sharing some of your earlier journey into ACT Jim. I absolutely love being part of the ACT community, especially the focus on us helping each other 'do' ACT and not just talking about ACT. Thanks for the video.

Would like to see more videos

Thank you, great advice.

I was hoping you would drop a new video! Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!

Just discovered this! Thank you!

Great video!

I really like some of the ideas here Jim. In particular something I will be taking away from your video is getting the person to 'feel' the costs of their behaviour. I think it is easy, as you pointed out, to fall into a very cognitive cost / benefit analysis. Thanks for this.

Looks really intriguing Jim! Nice preview too!

Hi Jim, these courses sound great. I particularly love this view (the 3 Rs) of functional analysis, and agree with the limitations of ABC. Looking forward to hearing more about it, I think this will be massively helpful moving forward.

Very helpful explanation of this "tricky" word, in ACT. (currently learning with SDS/RH)

Wish you would produce more videos, this is high quality content for therapists!

Thank you. Very helpful with my studies.

Thank you Jim for your videos! They are helping myself as a therapist and my clients. We need more of this.

Great work Jim. Thank you for putting your time, energy and values into this. Very helpful :)

A great summary Jim. Thank you for spending the time producing an easy to process explanatory series of videos.

Hi Jim, been following your videos these past few weeks, I think they're excellent, really informative, great for learning and understanding new concepts and consolidating older ones. Thank you, keep it up!

Thank you for this video Jim. Very clear, concise and told me exactly what I needed to know to move forward with using this in practice. I especially liked the 5 questions to use in session. Thank you for your time and effort in putting this series together.

Excellent! Thanks Jim!

Great stuff - well done Jim! watched all 3 thus far over dinner at work, great job, sharing with Brisbane ACT Centre folks right now :)
