About this listen

Do you want to change your relationship with painful thoughts and feelings that are holding you back from making changes to improve your life? In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Dummies, you'll discover how to identify negative and unhealthy modes of thinking and apply Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles throughout your day-to-day life, creating a healthier, richer, and more meaningful existence with yourself and others.

Closely connected to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ACT is an evidence-based, NICE-approved therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies mixed in with commitment and behavior-changing strategies to help people increase their psychological flexibility in both their personal and professional lives. With the help of this straightforward and authoritative guide, you'll find out how to target unpleasant feelings and not act upon them - without sending yourself spiraling down the rabbit hole. The objective is not happiness; rather, it is to be present with what life brings you and to move toward valued behavior.

Whether you're looking to practice self care at home or are thinking about seeing an ACT therapist, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Dummies makes it easier to live a healthier and more productive life in spite of - and alongside - unpleasantness.

Good for students not patients

This book gives a good overview of the therapy. This could be helpful as an introduction for students. This book can not act as a therapist or as a self-help book. ACT therapy is very effective but you’ll need a qualified therapist not a book.

Very informative

As a therapist who wanted to find out more about ACT, I found it an easy listen.

It would have been nice to have a PDF with some of the exercises.
