In episode 295 of Season 7 I'm wrapping up my conversation with Professor of Psychology Dr. Steven Hayes on our topic of ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. We talk about some misconceptions of it, the potential for principles within ACT to combat the opioid dilemma, some practical psychological flexibility exercises you can apply yourself and some helpful resources. This week on MCF!
