Micro-Talk: Holding Minds w/ Compassion

This session is rooted in Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evolution of traditional CBT that integrates mindfulness and psychological flexibility. Within this framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps us unhook from unhelpful thought patterns and engage more fully with life. In this thought-provoking micro-talk, Reuben explores how the mind’s ancient, survival-driven design can still shape our daily thoughts and reactions. By understanding the roots of our mental habits, we can begin to hold our minds with compassion, stepping out of reactivity and into a more intentional, values-based life.
