In therapy, I use a combination of acceptance and commitment therapy, systems theory, positive psychology, and bio-psycho-social approach to treat mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas in my videos are frequently adapted from several sources. Many of these come from acceptance and commitment therapy, particularly the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection stem from the work of Stephen Porges (polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (somatic experiencing), Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose the direction of our lives.
