Passengers On A Bus - an Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Metaphor

Everyone say thank you to your therapist who brought you here 😂

who's part of the "watching this cause ur therapist sent it to you" gang?

Felt a bit tearful too watching this. If only they taught us this stuff in school...imagine how different the world would be

This set me on the verge of tears. Simple, basic, elementary even.... yet exactly where I am right now: Same old road, trying to learn how to take 'the others' with me on a different route.

You are not your thoughts, they have no power to steer the bus only you do, you simply take them along for the ride with you, you can drown them out with diffussion and positivity while they will be their somewhat, they will be quieter and less likely to distract you from where you want to go in life

I was shown this in my PTSD Group Therapy Session, It really opened my eyes to ACT. Thank you creator this was important in my recovery.

Did he become a racecar driver though? I need closure.

Great message in this video! Life isn't about pleasing others, but opening yourself up to new possibilities whenever possible. Being pleased with your choices, words, and actions is what truly matters!

It's an easy presentation to demonstrate the core idea of ACT. I first watched this video in 2014 when I was struggling hard with a few types of psychological problems. I had a feeling that ACT could be a suitable & applicable method to help me out of the dark hole. Time flies and under God's grace, I have slowly become a person who is not entangled and harmed by the past wounds. So, I'm here to say "thank you" and encourage the viewers who are seeking a more manageable life to practice ACT techniques in real life.

My therapist actually recommended this to me.

This video should have 500 millions views Our own values, needs and desires guide our bus

Quite enlightening. It made me think of the final stanza in a song I wrote called Losin' which states: Never knew what freedom was It was just another cause Slipping away What a strange awesome journey All I needed was a little courage Living day by day Try not to read too much into it. It means pretty much exactly what it says and I believe it applies in many ways to this excellent bus metaphor.

I love ACT stuff. This was a great way of reframing the 'demons on a boat/demons on the bus' metaphor. Thank you!

I think I'll give my own thoughts cool accents (And heck, they could each use a sense of humor while I'm at it!). 🥳

Theoretical Psychology + LSD + Animation & Recording Software = This Video Clip

Idk why started crying when i herd the bad comments,. But every happy enddeding

I love this video and recommend it to most clients. This video is great! I wish the full download/sharable wasn't labeled as "ACT for psychosis" This video is well related to so many. Thank for making this.

i was bawling my eyes out because i was describing all my negative thougths and my therapist showed me this and I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF at the thougths being so mean to the bus driver 😂😂😂😂😂. They really are just rude passengers in my head, i dont gotta listen to these people 😂😂😂

sometimes seeing it visually kind of helps you with perspective, thanks for upload <3

can we get a part two to this but in the same art style, love how simple but important the messages are hidden throughout metaphors in the video
