1 Human suffering pain, stress, life crisis The single most remarkable fact about human existence is how hard it is for humans to be happy. (Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999) Riddle?? pain, stress, life crisis
2 The ACT model of Psychopathology Experiential Avoidance Cognitive Fusion Dominance of the Conceptualized Past and Feared Future Psychological Inflexibility Attachment to the Conceptualized Self Lack of Values Clarity Inaction, Impulsivity, or Avoidant Persistence Riddle?? The Swedish health care system offers more solutions to the with chronic pain and those on long term sick leave than any other system in the world. No where in the world is this problem so great and so costly. ACT Treatment Processes BEING THE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT: COACH Contact with the Present Moment Acceptance Values Psychological Flexibility Cognitive Defusion Committed Action Self as Context Draws us into the future or past Produces increasing cognitive entanglement Focuses our attention in the wrong places And even claims to BE us Lost love Controll and hold Shut down feelings Be good, take care of others Life feels empty Parents separate Shut down feelings Be good, take care of others
3 ACT assumption Pain and suffering are universal to all human beings. Languaging rather than the actual condition amplifies suffering Struggling with suffering creates more suffering The dog and the man Pathololgy model of pain ACT assumption
4 What is Relief? Relief? Pathololgy model of pain When pain was unavoidable it was bearable, when it became avoidable, it became unbearable The best a primary care physician can do for a person with chronic pain is nothing. Nothing is better than anything that is done today. The past is never dead. It s not even past (William Faulkner ( ) SBU: metaanalysis of all pain The best a primary care physician can do for a person with chronic pain is nothing. Nothing is better than anything that is done today.

18 PROBLEMS KNOWING commercial world tells us what we value Our parents tell us what we value. Our nation tells us what we value. Valued direction is not a goal Valuing is a verb Our learning history tells us what we value. MORE CONFUSION TRYING TO AVOID NEGATIVE FEELINGS OR RETAIN POSITIVE FEELINGS JUST CAUSES MORE SUFFERING feelings are not values judgements are not values thoughts are not values LANGUAGE TRAPS Fusion with conceptualized self: roles, rules Feelings are not causes: I still hurt so I cant explore a new relationship; vs: I feel hurt and I choose not to explore a new relationship. (we must feel a certain way before we can behave according to our values) HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU VALUE?
19 The concept of impermanence Any form you consider positively reinforcing will become punishing if you continue persuing it. FORM OR FUNCTION? EXPERIENTIAL Any form you consider punishing may entail positive reinforcment if you look closely. WHAT ATTRACTS YOU TO THE CONCEPT OF VALUING? Valuing = Choosing each and every step is a matter of choice which is a matter of valuing Is it that simple? it is what you choose with your feet, not your mind that reveals what you are valuing It is how we do it that matters
