I don't mean at all to discount that human experience is extraordinarily varied and that we don't all carry certain kinds of vulnerabilities, some of which are very hard to carry, very poorly understood by people around us, and it's very easy to make an enemy of them.
Ever felt like anxiety is holding you back from living your best life? Kelly Wilson, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Mississippi and co-developer of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), knows this struggle all too well. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer dives into a conversation with Wilson about breaking free from the chains of anxiety. Wilson, who has won accolades like the prestigious Elsie M.
Hood Outstanding Teacher Award, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table. He opens up about his own battles with vulnerability and anxiety, offering a fresh perspective on how to manage these overwhelming emotions. Wilson challenges the notion that anxiety is a disease or a sign of being broken. Instead, he advocates for understanding anxiety as a part of the human experience that can be managed through values-driven actions.
He breaks down the six core processes of ACT, explaining how they can help you navigate anxiety and live a life aligned with your deepest values. Throughout the episode, Wilson emphasizes the importance of identifying what truly matters to you and using those values as a compass to guide your actions and decisions. He also touches on the power of specific moments and memories in shaping our values and how they can be harnessed to create a meaningful life.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical insights and compassionate advice to help you move forward. Tune in to discover how you can start feeding your 'good wolf' and liberate yourself from anxiety's grip.
