Getting your ACT Together - Part 2
Episode 5
Wednesday, 15 April, 2020

This episode continues a brief introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) as a way to cope with the challenges of dealing with anxiety, stress, and frustrating events. I discuss the importance of identifying one's inner core values, which can be used to provide motivation for moving past difficult or challenging situations. By combining the first set of processes introduced in Part 1 (acceptance and defusion), listeners can use their identified core values to ACT in a way that moves one closer towards those values, rather than engage in actions or behaviors that provide more immediate (but likely not long-term or productive) gratification. Join me for a story of inspiration on how to use your values as a roadmap get you driving in a positive direction! Want to learn more about ACT?
