The Broadminded Affective Coping Procedure (BMAC) is an imagery-based mood-boosting exercise that can be used part of psychological interventions to help clients experience positive emotions.
Dr Judith Johnson, Clinical Psychologist and Lecturer at the University of Leeds and the Bradford Institute of Health Research, demonstrates the technique. The client is played by an actor (Catriona Burke). The video was filmed and produced by Christopher Werrett and Ishan Siddiqui.

This was really interesting and useful. I used to practice autogenic relaxation but let it slip and now find it difficult to re-establish. I think that it's probably because I feel I don't deserve any happy memories but, thanks to this video, I'll make an effort to recognise and acknowledge new happy moments as they occur, and then use them in this BMAC exercise. Thank you.

+John Gass Thanks for watching it and for your kind feedback John. Even simple, small memories can be useful to use - and often work better if they're more recent. I hope it is beneficial for you.

Hi Judith, I really like how you described negative emotions being associated with threat and leading to a tunnel vision of attention. Can you please point me in the right direction to do some reading about this? Thank you

Hi Judith, Wow, you can tell in this video that you are a wonderful Clinical Psychologist! My question for you is how does this method (BMAC) differ from Mindfulness and Meditations practices. I am a Relational Mindfulness Teaching Assistant and what you did is very similar to what we would do in a guided meditation.

@michaelpound9608 6 жыл бұрын

to my I would suggest that it is quite different from much of the mindful experience . However I would see why Mindfulness tutors would go along the positive route as it is a long tradition in other therapeutic disciplines. NLP uses positive anchoring to great effect and that is much older than 2010. Also much hypnotherapy work has used positive imagery and is well documented in such works by Michael Yapko from 1995 onwards .....This is a definite way to go but it is not that new. I suppose we all learn to use these methods according to our background

@michaelpound9608 6 жыл бұрын

upon reflection the visualisation technique is basically a hypnotherapy technique done in a light trance. however this would be a fail for most hypnotherapy as she introduces ideas and memories because she does not use clean language and so your mindfulness approach would be better to my view than this. Also I feel that she should have made more effort to link this positive event by emotion to others as this can produce a feeling that it is a normal and ongoing thing. This is a powerful thing when confronting some negative moods and emotions

CMHC Grad Student: I know the BMAC procedure is relatively new, but the way you used it here seemed like a mixture of: a) bringing a recent positive memory into focus, b) a "directive" counseling technique (which you lead with your voice), as well as c) meditative tendencies. Does this procedure usually have a mix of these 3 things or is it primarily going to be using a good memory and getting the client to try to use this cognitive process when they are struggling (for example, with PTSD)?

why a recent memory ? Would this depend upon the history of the client ?? Would we be looking for a vivid one or one where it was a positive moment in terms of life shaping event in many cases ??

@DarlingDaisy765 2 жыл бұрын

I was glad she clarified to use a recent memory because my mind first went far back enough that the positive memories I was thinking of using were tinged with sadness (loved ones lost) and a sense that happiness was in my past. When she clarified a recent positive memory, I realized I was dismissing nice moments in the here-and-now (e.g., a nice afternoon out with my husband a couple weekends ago). Thinking of that memory not only helped me to recall things like the weather, sounds, sents, etc., but it helped me to realize I have joy around me in my current stage of life (which helps me let go of longing for the past a bit).

I think tutors do not keep themselves up to date with latest publications. I am not certain about how people imagine things in their head. The patient said she found it difficult in the beginning to do the exercise but then it went ok. I came across a type of therapy which does alot of imagination and I now no longer find it healthy. I'd rather do more exercise outside head. Counselling can be something like listening with empathy 'That was terrible.' and patient express their pain. People feel comfortable when they speak to someone who believes them. There should be some public lectures to attend and sort of be up to date with latest research in the field.
