From the back…Nah then!Sometimes unwanted thoughts, feelings and and “stuff and ” can get in the way of what we want. This book will try to get you closer to where you want to be and move you beyond your and “stuff and “.How can we do this?

We will use familiar examples and what I hope is a dollop of grounded humour to get you where you want to go.So, let’s ger on wi it and “A bit more about the book…ACT Made Yorkshire is written by myself Dr Steve Jones. I am a Clinical Psychologist who works in England. I have grown up, studied and am now work in Sheffield. Sheffield, and more broadly Yorkshire is my home. I am fiercely proud of where I have grown up and wanted to write something in a style that would have hit the mark with me. The aim of this book is to take mental wellbeing, something that can often be seen as and “other and ” or and “indulgent and “, and to make it more useful for more people. There are metaphors and stories about a rat in a wheat mill, a trip to the bookies, a football terrace and several trips to the pub but to name a few. I hope that these strike a chord with you. There are also a lot of opportunities to get stuck in and give things a go. It’s ok me waffling on in the book, but sometimes the proof is in the experiencing. I have also made recordings which are explained in the book, apologies that it is just my voice and no one more exciting, but hopefully these exercises add some character to the scripts which are written in the pages..Listen to Introduction – ACT Made Yorkshire by ACT Made Yorkshire on # the book mentions, it is not a replacement for more formal therapy or psychological intervention and is intended for use with less severe mental health difficulties. If you require additional support then please consult your doctor or local support systems. Please look after yourself.If you are a mental health professional and reading some of the reimagined metaphors and exercises then I hope that you find them useful. If you do then that is wonderful. Please feel free to take anything you find in here and adapt it for your own practice. I have always wanted to write a book and this is me putting my money where my mouth is. There is an element of practicing what I preach in stopping to notice all of the thoughts and feelings that have tried to get in the way of this book being made. To notice these thoughts and to take deliberate and sustained action in accordance with what is important to me. Therefore I hope that ACT Made Yorkshire embodies all of the things I talk about in the book.
