CBT|ACT: I Am (Not) My Thoughts (Never Mind Your Mind)

This session is rooted in Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evolution of traditional CBT that integrates mindfulness and psychological flexibility. Within this framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps us unhook from unhelpful thought patterns and engage more fully with life. In this thought-provoking micro-talk, Reuben explores the empowering insight behind the phrase “I am not my thoughts unless I choose them.”

Through clear metaphors and grounded psychology, he reveals how we often get caught up in the automatic chatter of the mind, mistaking it for who we are. But the real power lies in stepping back and becoming the observer. Reuben gently guides us toward reclaiming choice, energy, and clarity—reminding us that our identity is not defined by every passing thought, but by the awareness that can choose which thoughts to follow.
