As audio files of ACT presentations, talks, and interviews become available, the ACBS community can share them here. If you have recorded talks that could be converted into an appropriate (mp3, wma) format and attached to this section, please do so. If you have files on your personal web pages, or talks or interviews located on other web sites (e.g., interviews with radio stations that store the sound files online), please provide the links.

Excerpted from the WHYY webpage: While one person gets divorced and moves on, another seems stuck in a sense of victimhood for years. Or one child of divorce seems relatively unscathed and for another they are never able to establish intimate relationships. What is it about our history that sometimes stays with us and controls our lives? And why are some people able to let go of the past and others are not? Dr. Steven Hayes, professor, author and originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy suggests that the whole issue of fighting with, for and against our past is precisely what keeps us stuck there.

This is a link to the Tin-Can Monster exercise, which I recorded using the script from GOOYMAIYL. This is a really powerful willingness/acceptance exercise.
I recorded separate tracks for each experiential domain (bodily sensations, emotions, behavioral predispositions, thoughts, memories). This enables clients to repeat tracks to cycle through as many experiences in a domain as they'd like before going on to the next domain. To go through the whole exercise just once takes a fairly long time (45 min) but people can do this acceptance work in smaller chunks over time.
