Diana Hill joins Julie Bogart on the Brave Writer podcast to talk about how to create a better relationship with ourselves and others through a process of becoming psychologically flexible. She has co-authored a therapeutic personal book called ACT Daily Journal that features practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is cutting-edge, evidence-based psychology that helps people develop psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility is one of the best indicators of effective parenting, and recent research shows that psychological flexibility reduces the impact of pandemic stress on families and kids.
Psychological flexibility involves directing yourself towards your values — even in the face of difficulty and challenges. It takes skills in acceptance, perspective taking, values, being present, stepping back from thoughts, and commitment to become psychologically flexible.
