Hi, everyone! I've mentioned previously that I have a disorder known as maladaptive daydreaming. Basically it means that I daydream so much that it interferes with my life. I belong to a forum for maladaptive daydreamers, and when I decided to record an audio to help myself sit with the feelings caused by the urge to daydream, I wanted to share it with them. The way the forum works, I can't just insert documents from my computer, so I had to put into onto YouTube. But that's okay, because it means that I can share it with all of you, and the whole world too.
A little background on the video: its based off of another acceptance and commitment therapy exercise that I've been using for my anxiety. Acceptance and commitment therapy is different from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy in that it doesn't put emphasis on trying to change your thoughts. Its all about accepting them, working with them, and continuing to move your life in a valued direction.
Here is the video:
Let me know if you have any questions about how to do the exercise, or even maladaptive daydreaming in general. The video is really just an audio with words on the screen. There is also a transcript in the description, but as I say in the video, its probably easier to do the exercise with your eyes closed (it can be difficult to focus properly with your eyes open.
