This episode, I introduce listeners to Acceptance and Commitment Training as a way to cope with the challenges of dealing with anxiety, stress, and frustration. I talk about the process and strategies of accepting challenging events that happen, and identify a few simple ways to defuse (distance oneself) from them. This is part one of a series of episodes designed to help reduce the negative impacts that stress and anxiety have on a parent, or anyone who is, well - human, and deals with such emotions.
