Embracing Personal Growth through Mindfulness and Values Alignment

There is a line between mindful drinking and recovery from alcohol use, but it is also true that some of the psychological modalities that aid one can aid the other. What can we draw from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that are successful in supporting recovery and its focus on psychological flexibility, including defusing thoughts, values work, and acceptance.

In this episode “Mindful Drinking & ACT,” host Derek Brown is joined by the founder of ACT, Dr. Steven Hayes, author of 48 books and over 700 scientific articles and one of the top cited psychologists, to discuss how psychological flexibility can help support drinking mindfully.
