In this episode, D. J. Moran, Ph.D. talks about the concept of self-as-context. As he explains it, this is the transcendental psychological place from where we observe our thoughts and emotions. If we can observe our internal experiences it means that we are not attached to them, and we come to understand that it is possible to respond effectively based on our values instead of just reacting impulsively to them. That is why self-as-context is crucial for promoting psychological flexibility.
