Ep. 311: Finding Focus in Distracting Times
Deep Questions with Cal Newport
Combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) provides a pragmatic approach to managing acute stress. This method entails scheduling two daily check-ins to assess and process stress-inducing events, such as natural disasters. During the first session, individuals identify cognitive distortions like catastrophizing and black-and-white thinking, anchoring themselves in reality and formulating a rational response plan. After this session, individuals are encouraged to acknowledge intrusive rumination while reassuring themselves that they will revisit these concerns during their evening check-in. This structured approach effectively curtails the tendency to ruminate by confining anxiety-related thoughts to designated times, allowing for clearer thinking and minimizing deeper cycles of worry over extended periods.
