What does it mean to live a process-based life? What processes can you engage in that will serve as protective factors for your mental health? And how can you find space even when faced with difficult thoughts, emotions, and sensations? In the launch episode of Season 2 of “Your Life in Process," Diana explores these questions with Dr. Steven Hayes, the co-founder of ACT.
