When Traditional Therapy Falls Short: Steven Hayes on Emotions and Alternatives

What I think is: yeah, of course, sometimes we're in situations where that comes directly, but often that comes through a combination of pretty painful experiences that we've had in our life that haven't been fully handled, plus trying to handle those emotional responses in ways that have actually artificially amplified them into something that's overwhelming.
Ever felt like conventional therapy just doesn't cut it for you? In this engaging episode of 'Eggshell Transformations', host Imi Lo sits down with the brilliant Steven Hayes, Ph.D., the mind behind Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). If you've ever wondered why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) might not be working for you, this conversation is a must-listen.
Hayes dives into the nuances of emotional control, explaining why trying to suppress anxiety can lead to panic and how refusing to feel sadness can spiral into depression. He also shares his thoughts on the controversial use of psychedelics in therapy, discussing why they might help some people but not others. But it's not all theory—Hayes offers practical advice and even guides you through an exercise to help manage your emotions right now.
His insights into living a values-based life and building resilience from trauma are both profound and actionable. Whether you're struggling with traditional therapy or just looking for new ways to handle intense emotions, this episode offers a treasure trove of wisdom. Tune in to hear Steven Hayes' compassionate and intelligent take on these pressing issues.
