Acceptance and commitment therapy
Has anyone tried this for GAD ?
I've just been reading up about it after reading " the bus metaphor" which was given to me by the therapist I used to see
I have also seen a few references to a book called " the happiness trap".... Anyone read it and found it helpful at all ?

I've read The Happiness Trap and found it an easy read with lots of helpful advice.

I have not read the happiness trap, but have "Get out of your mind and into your life." It's an ACT workbook and is really easy to read and understand. It is worth investing in.

I would definitely buy The Happiness Trap. I read it more than any other book, along with At Last a Life by Paul David

Just been watching some you tube videos of Russ Harris who wrote the happiness trap and what he said made a lot of sense to me
Have just downloaded his book, fingers crossed it helps
