Does your mind have a struggle switch?

A what? A struggle switch?! What the heck is that? Imagine if your mind has a switch that gets flipped on every time you feel a certain unwanted emotion. Anxiety for instance. Or sadness. How about anger? Imagine that switch gets flipped when we react to these  typical  human emotions. We feel anxious. We notice the anxiety. Then we get anxious about anxiety. Now we've got a double dose of anxiety! That's the glorious side effect of having a fantastically sophisticated human brain!  Has that ever happened to you? I know it's happened to me. 

Dr. Russ Harris, Acceptance & Commitment Therapist, explains the struggle switch metaphor through this entertaining and educational clip.
