Episode 159 - ACT in the Time of COVID w/ Dr. Evelyn Gould

If you’re anything like us, you’re probably starting to hit the pandemic wall by now. Rather than trying to white-knuckle through it, we invite you to look at what the ACT research has to offer to improve your personal psychological flexibility in these tough times. And as you’re examining your values and committed actions, perhaps the parents you’re supporting would appreciate some help with their own self-care practices. Not sure how? Don’t worry: Dr. Evelyn Gould will help us stay in the moment.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
