In this episode, Dr. D. J. Moran talks about experiential avoidance and how it can be an obstacle to living a meaningful life. From an ACT perspective, a flexible life doesn’t rely on avoiding uncomfortable feelings, but rather embracing them and developing effective behaviors so we can act according to our values.
