Description
Summary:Steven C. Hayes works with a 21-year-old client who has lost her father to cancer and who has a history of depression and substance abuse. Using acceptance and commitment therapy, a psychological intervention based on modern behavioral psychology, Hayes guides the client through the experience of her painful memories and teaches her to see her emotions as indicators of her sense of self and connection with personal values. In this session, Hayes demonstrates working through grief with a client by giving her the space she needs to express who she is and by attempting to change the client's relationship to her thinking, feeling, and remembering.
