  agree! a couple of years ago my therapist advised me to just go cycling (an activity i&apos;ve always enjoyed) despite me having a major depressive episode. my therapist said &quot;you might as well be depressed on a bicycle. your body will benefit from the physical activity anyway. give it a try.&quot; so i did. i went cycling being heavily depressed. sometimes i was crying, most of the time just thinking &quot;this doesn&apos;t make any sense&quot;. after a couple of weeks I actually started enjoying it ❤ DESPITE being depressed

  Fantastic interviewer:doesnt interrupt, but calls out something he doesn&apos;t understand, and asks for examples. It&apos;s clear he&apos;s really paying attention, and stays focused and relevant. A conversation between two very intelligent/emotionally intelligent people. Great, thank you(:

  I have to disagree to a point with the opening statement. At the height of my depression, I could barely get out of bed to use the bathroom, let alone bathe or eat. At the height of my anxiety, my panic attacks were frequent and I&apos;d burst into tears. All of these severely affect one&apos;s ability to get and keep work, to attend school/college, to focus on hobbies, friends etc.<br><br>This behaviour is not professional and not easy for others around you to deal with. I quit and got fired from several jobs in this time. I could not focus long enough on anything to be productive. I had to take time away from everything until I focused on me and my issues and got the help I needed.<br><br>It is not unreasonable to want your mental health under some level of control before you embark on better journeys regarding dreams and ambitions. It&apos;s quite logical. It motivates me to keep up with therapy and practising coping skills so I can continue on my journey as well. Sure, I have days that are terrible, but I&apos;m at a stage where I can hold down full-time study without buckling and breaking every single day.

  This isn&apos;t new, I learned about it in university, it might be getting more popular, but it&apos;s not new. For pple who say this wouldn´t work for them, don´t knock it till you try it, also, this isn&apos;t a tool you use on it´s own; it&apos;s a tool in a the CBT toolbox that should be used with other tools. It´s not about just thinking positively, it´s analyzing why you think something, accepting reality, but being able to move forward still.

  If someone is clinically depressed, then they should try treatment. But if you find always reaction badly to situation then CBT is good. You can&apos;t just do this for a few months. You have to do for years until it becomes a habit. Your reaction to the situation is the key. So listen to Dr. Ho. First take a look at the &quot; ugly painting&quot; and decide Instead of getting upset about it. With ATC you can think through. I always put off my reaction. Then try different ones in my mind first. The best is to &quot; apologize&quot; or &quot; thank you&quot; instead of my previous behavior only made things worse. So don&apos;t wait another day to try this. Get out and have a good time now. Sell that ugly painting. And use the money for something helpful or buy a new painting. Then think about the person who is enjoying that painting. Thats why CBT is. Not letting the moment bring you down worrying.

  ACT, for me, is an amazing mix of self compassion and dynamism. I used to beat myself up because I felt sad, tired, overwhelmed. I blamed and judged myself for having those feelings and not being able to &apos;be happy and calm&apos;. Russ Harris&apos; book was a revelation to me.

  I think this is good for people who are relatively high-functioning, but it&apos;s definitely not for everyone. Some people need time and space to work on their personal problems because life is fast and overwhelming. Also being able to function doesn&apos;t equate to feeling better.
