Take Your Life Back. A 7-Week Program for Overcoming Stress, Depression, and Anxiety Based on ACT Therapy

Thoughts are an inseparable part of life, but sometimes they spiral out of control and begin to destroy it, leading to serious problems: from low self-esteem to post-traumatic syndrome. Clinical psychologist Karissa Gustafson has developed a 7-week program based on... Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This workbook contains the theory explaining the concept of ACT therapy and a variety of practices that will help you bring positive changes to your life. From this book, you will learn: - What to do if your thoughts are working against you? - Why should you focus on values rather than goals? - How can mindfulness and self-compassion change your life for the better? - Why is the strategy of accepting reality better than the strategy of resistance?
