Capstone: Day 21

        We watched another ACT video. This one was the third session, I think. I am currently drawing a blank on the theme of the session, but I'm pretty sure it was introducing values to the patient. The psychologist was trying to get the patient to see that there are more important things in life than the pain they are feeling. If all they're worrying about is the pain, they won't be able to experience their life full out. They need to accept the fact that their pain will not go away. All they can do is change their mindset so the pain does not dictate their lives. This can be applied to anybody. If somebody is always focusing on the bad, they'll never see the good. They'll waste their time thinking about how bad things are, that they won't see the good things happening right in front of them. This was something I was able to take away from this hour.
