ACT Made Yorkshire: A Sheffield Lad's Take on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Unabridged‪)‬

From the back...nah then! 

Sometimes unwanted thoughts, feelings, and "stuff" can get in the way of what we want. This book will try to get you closer to where you want to be and move you beyond your "stuff". How can we do this? This book takes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and filters it down through the Yorkshire bedrock. We will use familiar examples and what I hope is a dollop of grounded humor to get you where you want to go. So, let's ger on wi it.

A bit more about the book... 

ACT Made Yorkshire is written by myself, Dr. Steve Jones. I am a clinical psychologist who works in England. I have grown up, studied, and now work in Sheffield. Sheffield, and more broadly Yorkshire, is my home. I am fiercely proud of where I have grown up and wanted to write something in a style that would have hit the mark with me. 

The aim of this book is to take mental well-being, something that can often be seen as "other" or "indulgent", and to make it more useful for more people. There are metaphors and stories about a rat in a wheat mill, a trip to the bookies, a football terrace, and several trips to the pub, to name a few. I hope that these strike a chord with you. There are also a lot of opportunities to get stuck in and give things a go. It's me waffling on in the book, but sometimes the proof is in the experiencing.
