This video belongs to SimplifiedHealth, Dutch subtitles are only added. Subtitled by Erik Roetman. Nu ondertiteld in het Nederlands, deze metafoor die onder andere genoemd wordt in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders (Eifert et al.). Psychologist uses a "Chinese Finger Trap" to demonstrate the human condition, wherein acceptance of powerlessness helps us to be free. Once we choose to live life on life's terms, we can accept that of which we are powerless. This ability allows us to free our energies to focus upon that which we truly desire, i.e. -- freedom. With this new focus, we allow things to happen and do things consistent with freedom, in order to be free.
