ACT for Social Anxiety: Self-as-Context

In this presentation, our faculty member Dr. Brian Pilecki talks about the case of Charles, a client with social anxiety disorder. In this section, he explains how to help clients who are stuck in stories or identities that are limiting, by using self-as-context strategies to promote perspective-taking and practicing self-compassion behaviors. Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from the video: Self-as-context involves perspective-taking to explore the implications of how overidentifying with certain stories or identities can limit our behaviors. The process of self-as-context involves identifying stories and identities about ourselves, and understanding that the concepts we have about ourselves can be reductionistic. Self-compassion is a valuable antidote to self-criticism. Level up your clinical practice with Psychotherapy Academy!
