Exploring the Essential Features of “Steven Hayes – Mindfulness, Self, and Contact with the Present Moment”
Mindfulness, Self, and Contact with the Present Moment by Steven Hayes
In this fourth video of the ACT in Action series, you’ll learn about the mindfulness components of ACT.
In a session with Tony, a client in recovery from addiction, ACT founder Stephen Hayes demonstrates techniques for helping clients slow down and connect with themselves at the beginning of sessions so that they can engage more deeply in the work of therapy. Utilizing an “eyes-closed” exercise, Hayes helps Tony contact his observing self—the transcendent awareness that resides below thoughts and emotions and can serve to ground us in troubled times. With commentary throughout, Hayes offers a script for bringing mindfulness practices into the therapy room.
ACT cofounder Kelly Wilson then conducts a powerful piece of clinical supervision with a struggling ACT therapist. Seeking support for her work with a hostile, resistant and demeaning client, the therapist quite convincingly role-plays her own client, while Wilson introduces several brilliant techniques to help her manage her anxiety and engage more deeply with the fear and loneliness behind her client’s hostility.
These ACT mindfulness techniques should be in every therapist’s toolbox!
