It's Monday evening, which means that we had Session 2 of ACT-U with Alexandra Newell M.S., BCBA. Tonight I asked if it was possible that some of the ABA field is in a state of "fusion" regarding some of our well-established practices. This is the definition Google's AI gives for fusion: "In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), fusion is a technical term that refers to when someone becomes attached to their thoughts, memories, assumptions, and beliefs, and can't separate themselves from them." Would you agree that perhaps sometimes BCBAs make clinical decisions based on beliefs instead of their own clinical intuition or what may be clinically indicated because of what research done in 1-2 specialized journals suggests is gold standard? This particularly strikes me in terms of dosage and rigidity when it comes to approach concepts that have been traditionally been seen as mentalistic like mental health. I'm excited to learn about how ACT can be applied in a behavior analytic framework and how private events that cause experiential avoidance can be tackled effectively through mindfulness and moving towards discomfort. Also, check out Alexandra Newell M.S., BCBA and ACT-U. Our cohort is already on to session 3 but you should totally join next round! #AppliedBehaviorAnalysis #ABA #ACT #AcceptanceandCommitmentTherapy

Ever felt like your thoughts are controlling you, rather than the other way around? Imagine if you had a toolbox that could help shift those patterns and put you back in the driver's seat. That’s where CBT, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, comes into play. Picture yourself standing at a crossroads—one path leads to familiar negative thinking and unhelpful behaviours; the other opens up new ways of seeing and reacting to challenges. I remember when I first tried CBT; it was like finally having a map after years of wandering aimlessly. Even those small shifts in thought made me feel empowered, inch by inch regaining control over aspects of my life that once seemed insurmountable. Here’s something fascinating: CBT teaches us that while we can't always change our circumstances, we can change how we think about them—and this changes everything. It's not instant magic but think of it as planting seeds for future growth. Have you ever explored CBT techniques? What has been your experience with changing old thought patterns? Share below; let's learn from each other's journeys! Feel free to tag someone who might find this helpful or share to spread some inspiration today. 🌟#CBTAwarenessDay #MentalHealthMatters #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy
