Me observing
The observing self is a perspective from which a person can notice thoughts, emotions, and roles without fully identifying with them.
Definition
In the ACT approach, a similar concept occurs as self-as-context, i.e. the ability to contact experience from the position of an observer. This does not mean detachment from emotion or spiritual escape, but the ability to see that the thought, feeling and impulse are the content of the experience, not the whole person. This perspective supports psychological flexibility.
