She discusses how ACT can be integrated with contemplative practices, providing a holistic approach to mental health and wellness. The conversation delves into various aspects of ACT, including experiential attachment, a concept that explores the emotional bonds formed through personal experiences. Dr. Hill explains how understanding these attachments can lead to more effective therapeutic outcomes. Energy management is another key topic covered in the episode. Dr.
Hill stresses the importance of channeling one's energy towards meaningful goals and values, a principle central to both ACT and her book, 'Wise Effort.' She offers practical advice on how individuals can identify their talents and interests to cultivate a fulfilling life path. The discussion extends to broader themes such as climate resilience, highlighting the role of psychological tools in addressing global challenges. Dr.
