Everything you do and feel occurs in a context. You are shaped by your learning history, your environment, other people, and you are continuously shaping the world around you. In this episode, Emily Sandoz shares how you can apply the ACT concepts of functional contextualism and interbehaviorism to build a juicier, richer, values-based life. Learn to resource yourself and thrive in whatever context you are in.
