Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Posted May 10, 2006 Recently I've been having an interesting problem. Working the ACT book and doing the exercises, I've experienced periods of genuine acceptance -- allowing difficult emotions to just be there - - and going on with my life accordingly. Sometimes I can do it for an hour, sometimes for three hours at a time. It's been great. But then -- very often -- A backlash occurs. Having had three hours of acceptance, I suddenly fly off the handle over nothing. Before I even know it, I'm reacting in the " old way " -- it's as if all the ACT that I've learned just goes flying out the window and I'm right back where I started. Has anyone had similar experiences and if so, does anyone have any advice? Thank you! Quote
