Accept What You Can't Control

You ask? We answer. Psych Hub interviews Dr. Jeffrey Cohen, clinical psychologist @ColumbiaPsych and a leading expert on the balance between acceptance and change. In this episode of Ask the Expert, we'll talk about how to deal with things you can't ethically accept, but have no control over:

– How do you emotionally manage difficult times?
– What is toxic positivity?
– What is opposite action?
– Does being aware equal being present?
