Episode #9: ACT 101

Summary: On this episode of the ACT to Live podcast, Jaime and Scott discuss the term acceptance. Does acceptance mean to like something? Is it a black and white concept - you either accept something or you don’t? How do you know if you truly accept something? Jaime talks a bit about her journey with grief and how walking this journey has taught her about the process of acceptance. Scott and Jaime then briefly introduce one of their favorite topics - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They introduce listeners to the six core principles and the overall goals of ACT. These concepts will be discussed in much more detail in future episodes.  ACTion Question of the Week: How might you describe acceptance for you (possibly of something you struggle with)? What does that acceptance look like? On our next episode of ACT to Live, we talk about the power of practice - as it relates to our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
