The fact I started tearing up during the “Things you won’t hear today” slide makes me think I might benefit from popping back into therapy for a bit. Cluster Headaches here - thanks for the presentation.

I’m from Manitoba. 67 years old. I have a lengthy list of physical pain spanning 45 years. I took mind over mood course x 4 about 15 years ago and thoroughly helped my depression. This past year the pain list has increased substantially and find myself peering over the edge of that black hole/pit. Along with anxiety/panic each time I see yet another Dr. I spend about 60% of time with appointments/self care. I will see a therapist for 2nd time this week. She mentioned to look up ACT before I see her. I’ve viewed several on line ACT videos on chronic pain…this been the best video for me so far. Learned a lot. I’m very interested in more info. If u can make any suggestions I’d appreciate it. 🇨🇦❤️ thankful for channel 🙌

I found this video while searching for radical acceptance topics. This is such a good presentation from the experience of chronic pain. I really needed this and it's the best thing I will have done today. ❤❤❤
