This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are joined by one of their amazing clinicians from their therapy practice, Dr. Lindsay Haston! Lindsay talks to us about where to begin when releasing control, letting go of control both externally and internally, and why fear can hold us back. She discusses the main modality she uses with her clients, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and what it entails. Lindsay explains some facets of ACT like accepting things as neutral vs. good or bad and how to work to stop negative thoughts in their tracks. We get to hear what Lindsay is calling BS on and why she doesn't like when her clients refer to themselves as a "control freak." You don't want to miss this one! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 4:30 to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.

Fill out this FORM and request Dr. Lindsay if you are interested in working with her!
