Other topics covered include the importance of mindfulness, the concept of hardiness, the use of a vision board to visualize goals, and the importance of accepting and tolerating psychological experiences. The segments also discuss techniques for managing negative thoughts and emotions, the role of control in addiction, and the importance of setting goals and establishing willingness in ACT.
