You Believe Self and Other Move Together

Whether we like it or not, we are always changing. To evolve for the better we need to learn how to accept and harness change. In this episode, Dr. Joseph Ciarrochi, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy researcher and co-author of the book What Makes You Stronger shares with us common reasons why we avoid change and Process-based strategies to shift our minds, sense of self, and behavior. Dr. Ciarrochi also gives us a glimpse into the future of more integrated psychology, where we have a common language and step out of academic boxes into a more conciliant view of well-being.
