Willingness vs Control in ACT Treatment for PTSD

[@tonyburton419]

Your explanations are very helpful, thanks. Please do not be discouraged by low views, perhaps this needs to be posted on ACT Facebook pages? Just a thought.

Willingness to experience "clean pain" in service to taking committed action. Aligning my action to values can be interpreted as authentic behavior objectively. Subjectively, I often experience self-doubt when my perspective becomes locked on my desired outcome. For example, when taking a community service action, I am also seeking validation from others. I have control of the actions that I take in the context of community service. I do not have control of the opinions of others. It's a challenge for me to stay focused on my intention and maintain attention on what I'm doing. By admitting my agenda about my desire to be acknowledged by others, I am able to be with that desire.

How about progressive muscle exercise, or bottom up techniques to not get stuck in the fff zone?
