Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) creator Dr. Steven Hayes
About this episode
This is a re-play of an episode recorded about a year-and-a-half ago with Dr. Hayes. Great guy, great conversation. Our recent episode on neurodiversity reminded me of this chat. Enjoy!
Dr. Stephen Hayes is the creator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a discipline founded in Cognitive Psychology that includes powerful methods for dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma.
He's also a fun-spirited guy, and a joy to talk to. His passion for people and his outlook on "why it's so hard to be a person," is helpful and healing.
