Re: Defusion Questions for a Beginner ( a question)

[Guest guest]

yes ur email was helpful. thank you randy.

I have just started reading the ACT books. Get out of ur mind i am half way

trhough. And the Hapinesss trap is what i am reading right now.

So whatever knowledge i have of ACT is actually all from the intensive (3 1/2hr.

a day/ 5 days a week for a month) therapy i had last month. And the same

therapy i went through last year in the sumer too for 3 weeks.

they also use a lotta act books and exercises from a lotta diff books, inlcusinf

the 2 mentioned above

I was fortunate to have the best therapists, at the best anxiety pogram, and

hence able to apply ACT in my life successfully. and accomplised huge

milestones.

Now when i am going through the books, for myself (and for my freinds),

somtimes i get lost in the words and meannings. Perhaps coz i have never been

into reading (until now), so if it's not very simple yet detailed

explanations(like my therapsists used to do), , i zone out (unintentinally).....

however ur posts have been extremely helpful to me since i have joined the

group. The way u reply is exactly the way my therapsits would talk or answer. so

i always get it instantly. hence i always read how u reply to peoples posts

here...in some way or the other either i can relate to the struggle or i have a

freind who is going through the same struggle as someone whos posts here . and

ur replies give me the answers as they make sense to me. ..so thank you randy

p.s. i have not been successful in convincig my freinds to read an ACT

book...they still keep coming back to me for help/support and thats when i get

overwhelmed, and don't know how to help, coz the way i help is ACT form, BUT i

am not a therapist, and i am not very articulate. i am simply someone who has

the same struggle hence can relate to them, and am a good listener. they r all

already seeking therapy themselves yet apparenlty it's not helping much, for

some not at all...
