PSYCH 515 Week 2 DQ 5 How to Deal with a Panic Attack Psychologist Steven Hayes, Ph.D. offers words of wisdom for dealing with Panic Attacks. Dr. Hayes is the principle creator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an empirically validated therapy that uses acceptance, mindfulness, and commitment to core values as therapeutic processes. One ACT acronym that can be applied to anxiety and many other psychological problems is Accept all experiences, Commit to core values, and Take action. In other words, ACT. For those who would like to learn more about him, I have included a link to Dr. Hayes website. On a personal note, I had the honor of being a co-author in a book on mindfulness that Dr. Hayes also co-authored. I finally met him a few years ago at a conference, and liked his down-to-earth style. He freely discusses his past struggles with panic and anxiety. bit.ly/1nSS4yO
