Dr Russ Harris: We practice ACT and compassion skills for OCD (#438)
In episode 438 I chat with Dr Russ Harris. Russ is a medical practitioner, author of the international best-selling self-help book ‘The Happiness Trap’ (as well as nine others), and is a world-renowned trainer of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). We discuss his new Happiness Trap card deck, rumination, the skill noticing and naming, he guides us through the ACT skill Dropping Anchor, the problems with distraction, self compassion, and he guides us through the kind hands exercise, and much more. Hope it helps. Show notes: https://theocdstories.com/episode/russ-438 The podcast is made possible by NOCD. NOCD offers effective, convenient therapy available in the US and outside the US.
