In Session

In this episode, we examine the nature of suffering and how we cope with it. Dr. Steven Hayes, the developer of Acceptance and Commmitment Therapy and one of the foremost psychologists in the world, talks about what we can find when we open ourselves to fully experience the grief and suffering in our personal histories. In our current age of what he termed the "syndromization of human suffering," Dr. Hayes' story speaks of a more compassionate, less labeling approach toward the unavoidable tragedies we experience, and the anxiety of simply being human.    Parallel to Dr. Hayes' story, we talk with someone close to the creators of In Session, about a type of loss that too often lives in silence.
