Hey, can we get these customized with other suits---for example, " I (spade) Kelly Wilson" or God forbid, " I (club) Kelly Wilson"? ... JT Blackledge, Ph. D. ...
Hi Jane, My acknowledgment and support goes to you and your teams for attempting this work with such difficult challenges. I am no researcher at all, what I...
I just read this piece, (catching up on emails, a little late). It is a wonderully articulate, powerful, first-person account of healing as if the person...
like Chad said, could depend on the audience. ACT is designed to help us be aware of (and/or change) our relationship with self-as-content (in order to...

Hi all, Just a sundaythought I wanted to share. As some of you might know, at the moment a very right-wing Dutch politician has plans to publish a movie about...
Hi List, In light of recent discussions which have attempted to define ACT, I want to offer just a sampling here from Patty Bach stretching back to 2003--...
This seems like a really basic question, but it's one I have a little trouble wrapping my head around, especially when my clients pose it to me. As I help my...
One little trick...movies. What has touched them in certain films? Often, their underlying sense of what is worthwhile will show up there. But, still, you...

Matt - In my experience, our categories are thoughts, just like the stuff we categorize. At some point we decide that certain thoughts are more useful than...
When does Valuing become Avoiding? Pain and values have been suggested as two sides of the same coin (the pain-values link). Yet my mind says that sometimes...
HI Matt- Good questions. How do you know a 'values statement' really involves a way of being that confers a heightened sense of meaning, vitality, & purpose, ...
Hi, Matt. Here's some thoughts that may be helpful... I tend to get confused when I think of values as things rather than behavior. It seems to me that, in a...
Hi, Matt, My opinions only..... It doesn't. The pain/ values two-sided coin idea, as I recall from Steve Hayes' workshop on it, begins with becoming aware of...
Good point...and, you'll continue to suffer or engage in unworkable solutions. That's one way you know you're off. J. ________________________________ From:...

Hi Matt... It seems that you have this issue formulated as a problem to be reasoned about verbally. Dialectically considered, there are several conceptual...
Interesting, I'd say valuing becomes avoiding when I begin to forget that part of valuing is having pain, when I forget to hold it lightly, when it all becomes...
Two thoughts here to join the many good others. Whenever you GO some place you LEAVE some place else and whenever you LEAVE some place you GO some place else....
Matt, Along with the other good suggestions may I add this one. Stop thinking about "values" and start thinking about "valuing." Every moment of the day we are...

Hi folks, can somebody forward me the message Joseph Ciarrochi has sent to the list containing links for ACT images? I deleted this message by accident. Thank...
Fine work, Rikard. Congratulations. What I find interesting, is that items like "I would do almost anything to get rid of my pain" speak for cognitive...
Hi Matt, Fantastic questions here and I'd say that staying knee deep in this process is not easy for client or clinician. Values is a really sticky point for...
OK, I made the post below last night but also sent SOMEONE a post on a similar topic about focusing on value-ing rather than values - at least that's how it...
