Hello and welcome back to the Therapy Explained podcast. In today’s episode, I speak with Shaun Mehew about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, otherwise known as ACT. Shaun is a contextual behavioural science specialist with a particular interest in process based therapy. As part of his work, Shaun develops AI informed digital therapy products.Shaun gives his understanding of what ACT is, the history behind ACT, how it’s held its own in light of the development of CBT, how it works, what relational frame theory is and why it’s fundamental to ACT, the importance of values and living in the moment, tips for making change, and even an ACT demo where I take the client’s seat.

Ep 27 - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Thanks for joining me on episode 22 of the podcast. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Paul Moore, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and course director of the Masters in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and lecturer in Psychoanalysis and Neuropsychoanalysis in Trinity College, Dublin. Paul gave me his understanding of what psychoanalysis is broadly speaking while also diving into the nuts and bolts. Paul explained how psychoanalysis has various branches, including his specialisation, post-Kleinian psychoanalysis. We spoke about some of the typical tropes of psychoanalysis, such as dream interpretation, the Rorschach test, lying on a couch, the Oedipus complex and whether and why these are still used.
