CHAPTER 7 Hi all, I'm new to UKACT. I must start with an apology (not a good start!) in regards to this late chapter review :O) CHAPTER 7 - If i am not my...
Thank you very much for your excellent summary, Reuben, which I enjoyed reading. Here are a few lines from Wu Wei: Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent Of...
I must admit I struggle a bit with the ACT senses of self described in this chapter. I'm okay with the conceptualised self - all those self-descriptive labels...
Hi all, I work in Ayrshire and I was wondering if there is anybody that uses this forum from a nearby area, maybe in or around Glasgow, that would be...
I am having a fuzzy recollection of an exercise that Robyn Walser went through at her training in Sheffield. She asked us to think about two or three things...
Hi Kevan Yes, I and some of my colleagues would be interested in developing an interest group. As you can see, we are part of the Pathways to Work Condition...
Thanks, Kevan, for asking this question. I was also impressed by Robyn's exercises that seemed gentler and easier. I wonder if anyone knows if Robyn has...
Dear All, I would be very interested in discussing the following, posted by Steve Hayes, after Dr Takashi Muto. I have to confess I don't really get it. Tony....
What I see in the figure Start with the two big circles: Some non-verbal knowing (knowing how) is not verbal at all in an RFT sense of that term Some verbal...
Hi My remembering of that exercise was as follows. The first part was to describe two things you really liked about your mother figure and likewise about your...
On Monday I went to a presentation on Compassionate Mind Training by Prof Paul Gilbert, taking an opportunity to check out this new therapeutic approach, and...
Hi David, Sorry to have missed you on Monday, if you go to the follow up training please let me know, and we can talk about ACT and CMT in person - and yes, ...
Hi David Yes, I'm sorry not to have met up with you last Monday, more so as it sounds like you were having some interesting conversations with Paul Gilbert. I...
Thanks Tony Just to let you all know its available as "used" on Amazon for £4.44 in the UK, slightly cheaper in US Reuben Lowe BA (Hons), Adv Dip, RMN ...
Hi again David, Is CMT a 2nd or 3rd wave approach? I think a case can be made for both positions. To put the other side, Paul Gilbert's emphasis seems to be to...
hi all, to further add to Chris's comments on CMT. It appears to me that the main therapetic focus of the treatment is to develop and foster compassion for the...
I'm finding this a very interesting discussion. Here are a couple of extra points on the side, so to speak (since I'm more familiar with Buddhist mindfulness...
The most significant difference between Buddhism/MBCT/MBSR on one hand, and the other therapies such as ACT, CMT, CBT etc. in my view, is in the "how" we get...
Yes, and this "how we get there" question is one that can potentially be answered empirically: is formal practice of meditation more effective/efficient than...
Just to clarify, I'm not at this point making any argument regarding which method is more effective. I'm not aware of any research comparing MBSR to ACT in...
Just to throw a neuropsychological angle at this. Research using I think PET scan shows highly experienced monks when meditating have significantly increased...
evening everyone, component analysis of the different interventions may throw some more light on the relative effectiveness of each, though i guess this may be...
Some very interesting points have been made about the role of compassion in psychotherapy, and I think few of us would argue that compassion (like say, love or...
Hi Rob, I like your take on 3rd wave - understanding how we relate (to ourselves) and to other people - and what may be right with us rather than what may be ...
Hi David, I'm not sure your questions here are relevant to CMT because the approach may assume that we have felt and have acted compassionately, and do feel...
Hi David Whether or not CMT's methods work to foster the emotion of compassion is ultimately an empirical question, and I don't think we have sufficient data...
Hi David, I don't believe in CMT or in any other 3rd wave therapy we are trying to procure particular emotions. It seems to me that in using any kind of ...
Hi David I guess we've taken this as far as we can. As you've gathered, I formed the view that in CMT there is what in ACT circles might be seen as a "change...
