In today’s episode of the Playing-It-Safe podcast, Dr. Z. and Lou Lasprugrato, MFT, discuss the various Acceptance and Commitment Skills (ACT) and how they apply to our day-to-day life.

ACT skills are applicable not just for therapy or coaching but as a way of living life. At the end of the day, real change happens by taking action, one action after another.

What we discussed with Lou Lasprugato:

• How playing-it-safe moves are part of our day-to-day life
• What is perspective-taking or self-as-context within the ACT model
• 4 ways to think about self-as-context
• How to make values-based choices on-the-go
• How the 6 ACT processes are intertwined
• What's aversive and what's appetitive when looking at your actions
