I just want to say thank you to the creators and experts of act for showing these marvelous concepts to us, I have read a lot about it, even RFT, a real way to engage with life, it should be taught all over the world!! and the great thing is that you learn about ACT as a way of life and learn more from it each day, since contrary to the rest of "solutions of life in 20 pages" out there, this is about real experience, no magic no perfect life, just real life with different eyes
I have been using ACT with my psychiatrist over the last 6 years for Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression and crippling Anxiety. I could not believe when I started that I could feel this way. All my life I have carried fear, pain and loneliness and had never known a day without intense psychological pain. Now that pain is gone and I am freed to live life with good and bad - just like normal people.
I have had PTSD, depression and adjustment disorder. The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris has given me reason to live life to the full following a permanent and disabling injury from a MVA. At last! a therapist who agrees that 'sh*t happens rather than 'suck it up princess' from treating medics. Thank you Russ. I reccomend this book and ACT therapy above Cognitive Therapy any day.
Brilliant presentation of ACT. I'm going to recommend it to my clients. Clear definitions and explanation. Best 30 minutes I spent today - and it saved me a long trip to Aussie Land. Thanks Russ, (Henry Steinberger)
