Session 1: Introduction to ACE – Being Present & Defusion
1.11b Take-Away Activity: Identifying Barriers to Psychological Flexibility or “Getting Stuck”
Please look at the Take-Away Activities and ACE diagram provided (Handouts 1.5.1 and 1.5.2). Explore situations, thinking patterns and actions in your everyday life where you tend to “get stuck”. Recognizing when and how we get stuck – or fused – with unworkable rules or stories is the first step in developing psychological flexibility.
(Please use this table to list and describe your experience of getting stuck, and come prepared to share with the rest of the group.)
