Getting your ACT Together - Part 2
<p>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! </p> <p>Want to learn more about ACT?

Getting your ACT Together - Part 1
<p>This episode, I introduce listeners to Acceptance and Commitment Training as a way to cope with the challenges of dealing with anxiety, stress, and frustration. I talk about the process and strategies of accepting challenging events that happen, and identify a few simple ways to defuse (distance oneself) from them. This is part one of a series of episodes designed to help reduce the negative impacts that stress and anxiety have on a parent, or anyone who is, well - human, and deals with such emotions. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Resources for this episode:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Harris, R.
