Introduction to creative hopelessness and embracing emotional struggles

In this video Dr Joe Oliver introduces the concept of 'creative hopelessness'. A key concept in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), 'creative hopelessness' refers to the understanding that our typical strategies to control or avoid difficult thoughts and emotions often backfire and lead to more suffering. Instead, we need to find more adaptive and creative ways to make room for and coexist with our thoughts and feelings, rather than engaging in an exhausting battle against them. A shift in perspective can open up new possibilities for growth, connection, and living a meaningful life - even in the face of life's inevitable struggles. 👨‍⚕️ About Dr. Joe Oliver Dr. Joe Oliver is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Associate Professor, and the Founder of Contextual Consulting.
