The secret is in our own language. The word helps us create and imagine things, create maps and models. Sometimes it also serves to “revive our dark moments”, to criticize us and even to condemn us. We must learn to change our language to prepare for this. Fight for overcoming and overcoming. The assessment begins with the word.
The main objective of ACT therapies is to give us the opportunity to develop our own psychological flexibility, accept ourselves and seek strategies and ways to improve our awareness.
1- Acceptance: We must accept our emotions, our feelings and our experiences without fighting against them or avoiding them. Suffering is part of normal life, but the human being has enough capacity to overlap and learn from the things lived. We must assume, understand ourselves, the enormous capacity of the human being to find solutions and surpass himself. The pain is blocking us, it is true, but we must not avoid it or it will chase us further. ACT says that sometimes it is necessary to embrace our demons to let them go. Come on.
2- Cognitive dysfunction: We must learn to see thoughts, memories and images as part of our own language. Thoughts or memories are not rules to obey, but paths of our being that we can use for our own benefit.
3- Contact with the present: You have to appreciate the ‘here and now’. The present determines us, offers us commitment and responsibility.
4- The observer self: It is recommended to develop techniques to listen to our own consciousness, because this is the true essence of the person, thoughts and emotions come and go according to the present moment lived, but behind them are we, ours. So.
5- Values: Do you know how to rank what is most important to you?Take a look inside, your conscience, your heart, ask yourself the question, know yourself, discover what is precious and essential.
6- Committed action: It is always recommended to set goals that are associated with our own values, so that our attitude towards achievements has greater motivation and meaning for us.
