Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of accepting one's thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to control or eliminate them. The goal of ACT is to help individuals live a meaningful life by committing to actions that align with their personal values.
In the podcast episodes, ACT is referenced as a key concept in both Creating A Values Driven Relationship and The Biggest Skill Issue For Men. In the first episode, the guest Coulter Bloxam discusses how ACT can help couples clarify and align their values, which in turn guides the goals and decisions within their relationship. In the second episode, Dr. K discusses how ACT can help men overcome emotional struggles by accepting themselves and taking responsibility for their emotional well-being.
The references to ACT in these podcast episodes suggest that it is a relevant and applicable framework for understanding and addressing various personal and relational issues.
