How to use diffusion to put distance between our negative thoughts and our response

In this video, you’ll learn about diffusion, a concept within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that can help us put distance between our negative thoughts and how we respond to those thoughts. Peter Tsurkis, LCSW, a therapist with CJE Counseling Services walks us through some exercises to implement diffusion and how to get the full benefit from the technique. This is part of the Your Mental Health Toolkit video series designed to improve life balance. In each video, a CJE clinician teaches a new skill or concept to promote a positive mood, reduce anxiety, and increase self-compassion.

This series is supported by the Jewish United Fund.
