Clinical psychologist, ultra runner, and gravel cyclist... Dr. Rue joins Skinner's Locker Room to explain Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in plain terms, walking through the six core processes (acceptance, cognitive defusion, present moment awareness, self-as-context, values, and committed action) with vivid metaphors like the "poison parrot" and the sky-as-self.

Dr.Rue connects ACT to real-world performance — ultra running, veteran care, forensic work, and daily life — and offers practical tips (anchoring, naming unhelpful thoughts, clarifying values) and resources for listeners interested in applying ACT to their daily life or sports performance.
