Acceptance with Dr Richard MacKinnon

People Soup

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 10 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

In this episode I continue my collaboration with Dr Richard MacKinnon that started in Season 5. We're continuing our exploration of the processes of ACT and psychological flexibility. Our People Soup ingredient this week is Acceptance, it forms the first part of the ACT acronym and can be tricky to explain. We do so using potholes, arriving into Heathrow airport and sunsets. You'll also find out which one of us us a cheap chocolate girl.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.
