Dr Carrie Hayward is a clinical psychologist , ACT therapist and author and is passionate about providing practical tools to support us to show up and connect more authentically with ourselves, other and our lives. In this episode, she explains how we can develop psychological flexibility - meaning we can choose how we relate to our thoughts, feelings and behaviours by connecting to our core values. When we do this we can live a richer and more purposeful life as we are living anchored by a solid sense of self.
Her first book “The Woman Who Lost the Sun” is a short but beautiful parable exploring how we can weather all the storms in our life when we connect to something that is deeply within us - how we want to live. She shows very clearly that by aligning our behaviours with our core values, we can once again find our smile. Her book can be purchased at her website https://www.carriehayward.com/ , on the online stores or directly via her publisher, Ocean Reeve Publishing.
