How playing-it-safe can be helpful or unhelpful in your life with Dr. Diana Hill, Ph.D.

Disengaging and using safety crutches

We all play it safe, that’s the norm and not the exception. Our playing-it-safe tendencies move in a continuum from being adaptive on one end to being unhelpful on the other. And one of the ways we play it safe is by pushing hard and working hard.

In this conversation, I interview Diana Hill, a clinical psychologist, co-author of the book ACT daily Journal and co-host of the psychology podcast Psychologists Off The Clock. Dr. Hill discussed how you can catch the cycle of striving.

Key Takeaways

Dr. Hill shares how to:

– Move from mental experiences into the real direct experiences

– How to start using an embodied approach to notice internal experiences

– How you can practice the exercise “one eye in and one eye out” as a starting point to step back from internal experiences.

Finally, at the end of the conversation, you will hear Dr. Hill’s recommendation on how to make the best of the ACT Daily Journal, if you just started working on it.
