Summary

Overcoming your pain—proven strategies for grief recovery

Coping with loss is difficult, but that doesn't mean you have to suffer alone. Based on the scientifically proven acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach, Moving Through Grief provides simple and effective techniques to help you get unstuck and start living a rich and fulfilling life again, even after loss.

ACT is about embracing all aspects of your experience—including the painful parts—and committing to actions that will improve and enrich your life. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, your health, home, or livelihood, this guide provides you with creative exercises that will help you work through your pain and reconnect with the things you love.

Moving Through Grief includes:

• Rediscover your life—Learn how you can show up for your life and experience joy and satisfaction, even as you still feel the pain of your loss.
• Grief recovery toolbox—Discover how the six tools of ACT—values, committed action, acceptance, being present, cognitive defusion, and self-as-context—can expand your perspective and aid with the healing process.
• Easy-to-use advice—Make real progress toward feeling like yourself again with straightforward exercises, such as identifying your values and setting realistic goals.
