... I think it is not the Conceptualized Self of ACT which is most important, but the values of an ongoing process. I still have points of criticism on the...
Hi all - just my 2 cents worth and a (long) story: This has been a struggle. For me, I am reminded of when I came to Ole Miss after spending 11 years in Reno...
Hi all, Does anyone know of a group (preferably ACT oriented) for female victims of domestic abuse in the northern NJ area? A women's trauma group could also...
I'd like to say that the "feel of the culture" is really important, in my opinion. I've been in academia a pretty long time (almost 20 years) and it took VERY...
I'm also looking for a therapist in the Northern NJ area. The potential client has struggled with anxiety (predominantly specific phobias) for many years and...
