Diana Hill joins Jen Lumenlen on the Your Parenting Majo podcast to talk about psychological flexibility, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and parenting.
Key Points:
- What is psychological flexibility?
- What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
- Cognitive defusion
- The idea that we could believe that our thoughts are not true is mind-boggling to a lot of people
- Perspective-taking is probably one of the most important skills we can do for ourselves
- How do we live out committed action?
- Children naturally have a beginner’s mind
- One of the things that actually sets humans apart, from robots, is our ability to think outside the box
- We can start to teach our children, that it’s not about the answer. That there are many ways to solve problems
- The IKEA effect
