Oh my, the trouble of language. Can't live with it and can't live without it. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) a lot in my private practice & coaching. The goal of ACT is to help people change their relationship with their pain and suffering and to choose effective behaviors that work. I do not focus on changing the language as much as helping people realize they can be free to choose their behavior. In other words, where does the client focus their energy and attention? However, without a doubt, the language we hear both internal and external can impact our quality of life is we let language "drive the bus." The question, "Who is driving the bus?" gets at the nature of language in our minds as being just words. "Who's driving the bus?" is what I ask people in my coaching group and workshops groups. The question encourages people to look at their behavior choices. They get to choose how they want to live their life. Stop by again anytime. Next time be sure to include your web address in your signature so people can visit you too. Warm Regards, Brenda Paulann,

I feel like I'm getting to know you better as a fellow blogette and helper. I enjoy getting to know my guests. I absolutely agree with you about being amazed at the courage of people who take the steps to engage in therapy for personal growth and healing. I am honored to bear witness to their life journey. I adore and cherish my clients. As therapists we invite our clients to walk into the darkness of their soul and bring light to their suffering in the process of connecting to their authentic self.

We were talking about depression during one session. Near the end of our time together one of the group members said, "So it's okay to be depressed sometimes?" We began to focus on discussing the range of moods we experience as humans and the fluidity of those. I have thought often since that time about the down side of being so focused on being happy. Especially if it implies that all sadness, feeling down, is pathological. I am eager to watch the video, but wanted to note what I have been thinking for a long time. Thanks for the information.
