Yeah, so if I’m dealing with something that primarily manifests as mental events, internal talk, weird belief structures, emotional reactions etc, I’ll tend to work on that with core transformation. If what I’m noticing seems to be mostly behavioral with only a minor mental component (I might have emotional reactions about the behavior, but it feel like the behavior is primary), I’ll tend to use ACT concepts. I might switch from one to the other in the process of ‘rolling out’ any particular thing, behaviors and cognition are entangled after all, but it’s where I tend to start.
