Description:
Harness ACT to live a healthier life


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.

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.
