Steven Hayes is a Professor at the Department of Psychology, University of Nevada. Steven developed a form of behaviour analysis called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - or ACT. This approach is about: accepting our reactions and being present, choosing a valued direction and taking action. I find his approach refreshing. He has some really practical, effective ways of dealing with stress and anxiety. He has written a fab workbook using ACT called: Get out our your mind and into your life. I have also put three of his videos below
- Using ACT in daily life
- Happiness is an empty promise
- How to deal with a panic attack
