In this episode of the Wise Effort Show, Dr. Diana Hill engages in an impromptu and intimate conversation with Greg, a social worker and former Coast Guard intelligence officer. After a mix-up leads Greg to join Diana’s ACT Accountability Group an hour late, they explore themes of intimacy, impulsivity, and saying yes to what is while discussing the processes of ACT. Through a drawing exercise, they delve into Greg’s relationship with his phone and how it ties to experiential avoidance, leading to a broader discussion about trauma, hope, and the importance of being present. This spontaneous dialogue highlights the power of saying yes to the moment and authentic human connection.
