Bend, Don't Break: The Power of Psychological Flexibility

What is psychological flexibility, and why is it one of the most important skills for mental health?

In this episode, Maddy and Raich explore what psychological flexibility is and why it plays a key role across all therapy approaches. We discuss closed mind, open mind, and flexible mind states, exploring when each is helpful and when it can keep us stuck.

You'll also learn about the skill of Radical Openness and be introduced to Flexible Mind DEF a practical skill that helps you build openness by acknowledging unwanted emotions, engaging in self-enquiry, and responding with humility.
