Behavioral Patterns | ACT Life Map | A Closer Look

Join Todd Schmenk as he takes a closer look at behavioral patterns, sometimes call a "behavioral loop" which is an aspect of the ACT Life Map and part of behavioral analysis. It is one of the most powerful concepts in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy toolbox. Have a sheet of paper ready and follow along to get the most out of this presentation. This activity not only looks at how, where, and why we become stuck, but also offers a way through it, a way to unhook from the loop. Behavioral Patterns
