The Acceptance Field Guide

What if the key to overcoming anxiety and depression isn’t to fight them, but to recognize that trying to get rid of them is what’s actually causing them?

In this practical guide to implementing the concepts and actions of Acceptance in your daily life, Mark Freeman combines research, useful exercises, and his own personal experiences applying Acceptance to overcome OCD and addictions. The Acceptance Field Guide shows you how to accept intrusive thoughts or experiences and move on with your life, acting according to your values instead of reacting to fear and anxiety.
