Join our faculty member, Dr. Matthew Tull, as he unveils powerful insights in our ACT-Based Exposure and Cognitive Defusion for PTSD video. This is part of our clinical case “ACT for PTSD: Witnessing Death”. In this video, Dr. Tull guides you through trauma recovery using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) techniques.

Here are some key elements of the video:

1. Witness how Mark, the client, learns to connect with his emotions without judgment during exposure exercises. This skill diminishes secondary emotional responses, laying a strong foundation for healing.
2. Discover cognitive defusion and emotional willingness strategies that empower people to detach from judgmental thoughts and engage with emotions authentically.
3. Explore the practical tools used in Mark’s therapy:
1. Describing a thought as a thought: transforming judgments into observations.
2. Stay present: using mindfulness to remain connected and centered.
3. Defuse meaning: disarming emotional weight through repetition.
