Understanding Psychological Flexibility

Psychological flexibility involves learning to step back and notice your thoughts and feelings, selecting what is useful without getting entangled in all thoughts. It is about making decisions based on where you want to go and who you want to be, rather than being limited by negative self-perceptions. This process allows individuals to learn from their experiences and continuously improve at being their authentic selves.
