How to approach a challenging conversation with Dr. Debbie Sorensen, Ph.D.

Assuming responsibility of important matters & others’ well-being, Criticizing, judging, & attacking yourself

How often do you play-it-safe by minimizing what’s important to you and avoiding conversations?

In this conversation, I interview Dr. Debbie Sorensen, Ph.D. a clinical psychologist, co-author of the book ACT daily Journal and co-host of the psychology podcast Psychologists Off The Clock.

In this episode, Debbie and I chat about different micro-skills, based on Acceptance and Commitment Training, that you can use to approach conversations that matter to you.
