All in all, my issue is not about having painful or negative emotions, my issue is if/when they get in the way of me doing things, in the way of concentration, in the way of my goals.

May I see if I am understanding you correctly?
ACT says "Don't try to change emotions or dwell on them, let them be as they are, just go ahead and take actions towards your goals."
You say (if I am understanding you correctly) "I would love to do that but the emotions are so dominating that my brain shuts down and I then I cannot take the actions needed to advance towards my goals."
How accurate/close am I? If okay, please edit as needed!
