    Ep 32 - The Algebra of Suffering

    In todays episode we discuss the traps we fall into when things don’t pan out as we expect. Do we fall into our inflexible patterns which lead to suffering or are we able to adapt and be flexible. From avoiding movie trailers to not pinning our hopes that the Dave Matthew’s Band will play a particular song, we discuss the importance of utilizing our ACT skills to “go with the flow” rather than become ridges and resort to being “no with the flow”.

    Ep31 - Feeling ends in ING

    Today’s episode is a discussion on what makes Star Wars’ C-3PO human and The Terminator a killing machine from the future. It is a chat about the habits we fall into in not wanting to stay in feelings that we find too uncomfortable and instead of staying in feelings we run away from them, and in essence, run from ourselves. This is a talk on the importance of keeping the “ing” on our feelings.

    Ep 29 - Differential Defusion

    Let’s face it, only playing defense isn’t enough in the battle against psychological inflexibility. The truth is we need a good offense as well as a good defense. Today we have a chat about using defense with defusion and offense with fusion and knowing how to use them differentially. Pulling simple wisdoms from Dave Matthew Band songs and avoiding the case of the Mondays the secretary from Office Space warned us about we discuss differential defusion and how it contributes to our pursuit of psychological flexibility.
