Third-Wave CBT (ACT Explained)

Episode 14 explores ACT as a third-wave CBT approach centred on psychological flexibility. We discuss how ACT helps clients relate differently to thoughts and feelings through defusion, acceptance, present-moment awareness, and self-as-context, creating more internal space and less struggle.We also emphasise values and committed action—how therapy can support movement towards a meaningful direction, even when distress is present. This episode positions ACT as a practical, value-adding lens for helping clients build resilience and agency.🎧 Subscribe now and master the art of communication in therapy.
