"Text us your thoughts and questions!"

In this episode, we dive deep into the specific challenge of avoiding difficult emotions using the ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) Choice Point model. Building on our previous discussion of avoidance coping strategies, we explore how to recognize when we're at a choice point, learn practical skills for staying present with discomfort, and discover how our core values can guide us toward courageous action.
