We often have mechanistic views about ourselves “I’m bad, ugly, stupid, etc” and believe that when having any negative thoughts, painful memories or feelings, they need to be fixed, repaired, or replaced. 

At times we believe that we lack “confidence” or “self-esteem”.

But …. what if our internal experiences are just that, internal experiences?

What if what we do with them or what we do in response to them is much more important than what those experiences are?

In this brief episode, I share with you a particular psychological concept that is at the heart of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Context and how you can understand your behavior in context.

I promise you this episode doesn’t have fancy jargon or complicated words; it’s the opposite. I did my best to share with you an important psychological construct in a simple and actionable way so you can get better at living a purposeful life.
