> really interesting reading
I really appreciate you saying so. I was a little surprised that there's been so little response to it here on a psychotherapy board. Just you and sleepygirl, a week apart.
It might be because on first pass ACT can sound like a cold, Dr Laura-style, suck-it-up approach. Not very appealing.
But ACT people say that our bad feelings are legitimate and important and we should not ignore them or "just put up with" them. If we Mindfully® invite them in, we get a lot more control over our lives...
