Defusion: How to Detangle from Thoughts & Feelings

[@JDpowerpower]

I'm a therapist that practices ACT. Look forward to sending my patients the link to this video to support the work we do. Very good, on point.

In the second reprint of Happiness Trap Harris writes that it is important not to allow the slightest hint of sarcasm or aggression when thanking your mind, because it can easily involve- in conflict with own thoughts

Thanks . sister. God bless you.

I was worried I wasn't doing it right for a few days. I only read a short summary of ACT therapy and started by sitting for a while each day and allowing my thoughts to come and feel them without trying to examine them or ruminate on whether they are true and then I redirect my attention to values and what matters to me afterward. I was having a particularly bad few days and went looking for more info on act. I read about cognitive defusion and I thought I didn't know about this. "Oh no I've been doing it all wrong, now I will never get better" I also have OCD and I practice ERP for that. I realise that some of this stuff I've been doing actually is actually cognitive diffusion, I just didnt know it. I'm almost certain that it's my OCD telling me I was doing it wrong now.

I wish she was my therapist too! Mine, an overpaid clinical psychologist here in Zeist, really sucks and has done more damage than good. Unfortunately, we are rounding off in 3 weeks, so it's too late to switch.

[@ed6837]

I have watched explanations on cognitive diffusion before and never really understood. Now I think I do. Excellent video!! Thank you.

[@swiftswamps0821]

This is really helpful, 5 techniques in one videos? Thanks 🙏

[@AlexMurdoch7856]

Great video - so clear. I think you should keep your hands over your face when you're doing the exercise - that would be even more powerful. Keep up the good work!

[@JN25376]

Very clear and helpful. Thank you, Dr. Rodríguez. This is helping me a lot.

This is a great overview of defusion thanks for sharing!

[@sm0g-810]

I'm getting very confused about the mindfulness exercises I see. This video says I allow my thoughts and feelings to come and go without changing them or controlling them, but all these mindful exercises say if I get too hooked up in my thoughts return my attention to the stream or other object. Surely that's trying to change your thoughts!?

[@puppipsicologia]

There is a subtle difference between changing toughts and turn your attention to another stimuli with conscience. When you try to directly modify a difficult tought, you get trapped in a dialog or in a stream of toughts fighting against each other for the stronger reason. "Don't think in a pink elephant" is an example of this paradox: you have to always be aware of the tought of the elephant in order to supress it, so there is no resolution this way. On the other hand, if you are mindful about the tought (a requisite) and just let it be there, turning you attention to whetever is better at your disposal, you may experience less internal events evoked by that tought and may acquire a bit more control on what matters for you at the present moment, in the real world. Without forcing to change the toughts or sticking to them, they eventually cause less harm or even go away.
