Acceptance of the Abnormal with Steven C. Hayes
2023-09-11
This podcast aims to fight for better mental health systems for those who are struggling, and one thing that is blatantly clear in Niall’s PhD research is that our past and present models of care are not working.
What is a better solution? How can we support humans through the beauty and sh*t show of life in a compassionate and respectful way? Niall is joined by a paradigm-shifting therapist who has changed the therapy landscape, Steven C. Hayes. He is a clinical psychologist and creator of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model that Niall himself has been through. Steven explains why he created ACT to fill the gaps he could see in how we were treating people, the unique principles that he believes are a better way forward and why we need to stop judging people based on what a dark history tells us is ‘normal’.
