Can we stop fighting our painful emotions and instead learn to hold them with calm curiosity?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, today’s episode explores a new self-help book with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) at its core.

Written by psychologist Ben Sedley, the book helps readers understand why treating yourself with compassion can be more powerful than chasing positivity. 

We dive into the book Holding the Heavy Stuff and its lessons for managing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and even chronic pain.

Learn how ACT differs from mindfulness while helping us connect with our values and take meaningful action.
