Love this

This is Simply doing my head in . Irritating presenter: imbecile behaviour, the location outside wherever they are, the damn music is NOT needed . How on f. Are we to understand the concept of ACT when all this nonsense is going on ??🙄🙄🙄

🙏❄️🛸✨🌟💎🤩🐚🌈

So good. Thank you!

The thing alot of people don't understand and practitioners don't teach self acceptance comes before self esteem/confidence.

My problem is my anxiety when people ask any personal questions. I don't know how to answer in a way that doesnt reveal that im a failure.

The scary thing is that the myth of self esteem reigns in most of 90% of materials , videos, there should be more of this around!

Love it

A novel procedure to increase and sustain positive affect and reduce rumination and worry, as a supplement to talk therapies such as CBT or ACT (and how it integrates with mindfulness) The ideal for any scientist with a great idea is to be able to explain it in a minute, and to confirm or falsify it as quickly. The world record for this arguably goes to the English philosopher Samuel Johnson, who rejected Archbishop Berkeley’s argument that material things only exist in one’s mind by striking his foot against a large stone while proclaiming, “I refute it thusly!” Here is a similarly novel and useful idea that can be confirmed or refuted with a proverbial swift kick, and can also be easily explained through affective neuroscience (links below). Summary Endogenous opioids are induced when we eat, drink, have sex, and relax, and are responsible for our pleasures. Opioid activity however is not static, but labile, or changeable. Opioid release is always modulated by concurrently perceived novel act-outcome expectancies which may be negative or positive. If they are negative (e.g. a spate of bad news or bad implications of our behavior), opioid activity is suppressed and our pleasures are reduced (anhedonia), but if they are positive, then opioid activity is enhanced and our pleasures are accentuated as well (peak experience, ‘flow’). This is due to dopamine-opioid interactions, or the fact that positive or negative act-outcome discrepancies, or ‘surprises’ can induce or suppress dopaminergic activity (which causes arousal, but not pleasure), which in turn can enhance or suppress opioid release. This can be demonstrated procedurally, and if correct, can provide a therapeutic tool to increase arousal and pleasure, or positive wellbeing. Basic Facts Endogenous opioids are induced when we eat, drink, have sex, and relax. Their affective correlate, or how it ‘feels’, is a sense of pleasure. Fun Fact When we are concurrently perceiving some activity that has a variable and unexpected rate of reward while consuming something pleasurable, opioid activity increases and with it a higher sense of pleasure. In other words, popcorn tastes better when we are watching an exciting movie than when we are watching paint dry. The same effect occurs when we are performing highly variable rewarding or meaningful activity (creating art, doing good deeds, doing productive work) while in a pleasurable relaxed state. (Meaning would be defined as behavior that has branching novel positive implications). This is commonly referred to as ‘flow’ or ‘peak’ experience. The same phenomenon underscores the placebo effect, which describes how expectancies can increase dopamine and opioid activity, such as when a meal is tastier or a sugar pill reduces pain when we are led to believe they will. So why does this occur? Dopamine-Opioid interactions: or the fact that dopamine activity (elicited by positive novel events, and responsible for a state of arousal, but not pleasure) interacts with our pleasures (as reflected by mid brain opioid systems), and can actually stimulate opioid release, which is reflected in self-reports of greater pleasure. Proof (or kicking the stone): Just get relaxed using a relaxation protocol such as progressive muscle relaxation, eyes closed rest, or mindfulness, and then follow it by exclusively attending to or performing meaningful activity, and avoiding all meaningless activity or ‘distraction’. Keep it up and you will not only stay relaxed, but continue so with a greater sense of wellbeing or pleasure. (In other words, this is a procedural bridge between mindful and ‘flow’ experiences that are not unique psychological ‘states’, but merely represent special aspects of resting states.) A Likely Explanation, as if you need one! A more formal explanation from a neurologically based learning theory of this technique is provided on pp. 44-51 in a little open-source book on the psychology of rest linked below. (The flow experience discussed on pp. 81-86.) The book is based on the work of the distinguished affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge, who was kind to review for accuracy and endorse the work. Mindfulness and flow as attributes of rest Affect in rest is labile, or changeable, and rest (i.e. the general deactivation of the covert musculature) is not an inert state, but modulates affective (opioid) systems in the brain. Affect in rest is a steady state when one is thinking of ‘nothing’, or just passively observing in the moment (e.g. mindfulness), but the intensity of affect also correlates with the variability of schedules or contingencies of reward and the discriminative aspects of incentives (i.e. their cognitive implications). For flow like or positive affective states, sustained meaningful activity or the anticipation of acting meaningfully during resting states increases the affective ‘tone’ or value of that behavior, thus making meaningful activity seem ‘autotelic’, or rewarding in itself, while currently displacing non-productive rumination, distraction, and worrisome ideation.

Accept, free yourself

Another (vintage!) half-hour from Russ here: ua-cam.com/video/S5UWEgC0A4c/v-deo.html

Russ is also about to launch an online program - see psyflex.com.au for more

This book is the best book for anxiety,panic attack which I ve read..

Very nice and inspiring interview. Thanks for the upload. I love his vision about succes!

We need to say 'de-fuse' clearly, not 'diffuse' which is what it often sounds like and which causes confusion. When you first ignore or defy the demons, be prepared for them to escalate before they extinguish

can't listen because of the awful music

The music is so loud... ACT and Russ Harris is great though:)

I love this visual. I feel like the folder can also represent strong grip/attachment to DESIRES, cravings, extrinsic happiness which may prevent us from just going with the flow, mindfulness, and accepting what develops =)

THANK YOU!!💞

Книга доктора "Ловушка счастья" утешила и ободрила меня. Большое спасибо автору! Россия

Incredible man, just met him here, but just from this one interview, he's blown me away.

Amazing. Thank you.

epiphany stuff! wow

this is a great video. cant wait for the next one

Zara...This segment was really incredible because you drew from an abundant well of experience and understanding yourself. I got a lot of of this because of the articulate way you posed questions and the intelligent way you guided this fascinating gray matter four feet from you. This is far from hard news, but you strike me as a skilled journalist who just happens to have a certain charm that works for the medium of video.

This is great...but why in the world is the goofy background music needed? Even with my speakers turned all the way up, it's hard to hear all the words.

wow! powerful thanks. I am going to use this in my workshops with young in southafrica.

Dear Humour Australia :), I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time, effort and energy to both upload and share this video with the youtube community. Thank you so, so, so much Humour AustraliaRay.

hehehe She has the same name as me.

Brilliant!!

Great guy and ACT is absolutely rock solid, effective material. And btw I'm pretty sure that he didn't realize he had that many buttons unbuttoned. :)

Dear Humour Australia :), I would like to say, thank you, to you, for taking the time and effort to both upload and share this video, with the youtube family :). I would like to wish you, a healthy, safe, generous, lovely and wise day, mate! :) Kind Regards Ray :) (Love from Australia, Sydney) :)

This is a great interview. Some of the things you mentioned, I remember reading the book "The Happiness Trap" and hearing it from you brings it up close, so I can comprehended it easily. I get sweaty palms too and it annoys me but still trying to find a solution to manage that situation in my life. Thank you Dr: Russ Harris. The best 30 minutes I've spent in long time. Regards Andrew Laggner.

Alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar en español el Audio libro: LAS TRAMPAS DE LA FELICIDAD del Dr Russ Harris ?

Dear russ harris. I was dubious about this book that was recommended to me by psycology through my varying problems. But all i can say is thank you. You honestly saved my life. If i hadnt read this book i wouldnt be typing this. Read it over a year ago and im still alive and thinking!!

I've been reading Dr Russ Harris book 'The Reality Slap' - absolutely brilliant! really really good. He gets to the heart of the matter. I highly recommend it.

Thank you ... what a great interview and simply amazing ... just need to finish the last few pages of the book. Please keep it up and thank you very much.

What a great guy and a great writer. Very inspirational video. Thanks.

This man is like the Pope or the Dalai Lama to me - I've been doing ACT for a few years now for depression, social anxiety disorder and body dysmorphic disorder, and although I still meet some of the criteria for those disorders, I don't think I've ever felt more at peace with myself. Also, it was nice to hear Russ talk about writing! I'm procrastinating right now when I should be writing my thesis...but I'm about to close UA-cam and take a leaf out of his book and just get on with it!!

I've been thinking something similar for a while, but I couldn't cohesively explain the concept. This video is a great explanation and really interesting perspective!

Perhaps it was Russ' 'The Happiness Trap" ? (Please see under the video window for a link)

what changed u which book??

Top fan, luv ur work keep it up.

Perhaps you can take it with you... but know that you are much bigger than your fears... good luck!

i am going on the stage on friday and i will take my anxiety with me

The concepts behind ACT changed my life. They are so down-to-earth and yet so utterly profound. Although CBT is helpful, I feel that it leans toward wishfull thinking a little too much. ACT on the other hand simply drags you right into the dragon's den and forces you to confront the beast head-on!

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

If you want to dive directly into it and see the amazing results of ACT watch 24:00 to 24:45...

@melk0666 Nice words.

Well I still want to go to Australia!
