What is Getting Hooked WorkSheet?
Hooked is a term used in ACT therapy which refers to being hooked, overwhelmed by the thoughts that come into our mind, the automatic negative thoughts that are maladaptive. Whenever we experience such thoughts, the first reaction is that we try to suppress or ignore them unconsciously, we don’t address them. Acceptance therapies are about accepting and acknowledging the things as they are. Getting hooked is the term used when we are unable to ignore, avoid or get rid of the thought and it starts to affect us in any way, the thoughts start keeping us busy. It will help you to learn to acknowledge your feelings and thoughts rather than avoiding them and putting them away, since by doing that you only make them grow stronger, they don’t go away.
