ACT|CBT: Hands As Thoughts – Full (Never Mind Your Mind)

This session is rooted in Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evolution of traditional CBT that incorporates mindfulness and psychological flexibility. A key approach within this framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps us relate to our thoughts in a more open and adaptive way.

We begin with the powerful Hands as Thoughts metaphor, an exercise that illustrates how becoming fused with our thoughts can narrow our perspective and disconnect us from meaningful experiences. This journey deepens with a compassionate letter to the mind, reminding us of our innate ability to reconnect, respond, and experience the beauty of the present moment.

We conclude with a grounding affirmation, empowering us to move forward with clarity and intention.

Thanks Reuben for the reminder to respond, not react, to soften and open. 🙏🏻❤️
