Why Isn't Self-are Taught in Schools Many Voices 5.3

Think back over your life. Were you ever taught to take care of yourself? Was the very idea of self-care even mentioned in schools, from family, or with friends?

Acceptance and commitment therapy co-founder, Kelly Wilson, and behavioral medicine expert Graciela Rovner discuss how critical self-care is and how we might help more people take care of themselves the way they would a loved one.

Self Care with Compassion--Many Voices 5.4

In the face of epidemic levels of chronic illness, the idea of “self care” is more crucial now than it has ever been. But how we approach this self care is important too. For example, you can force yourself to quit smoking, start dieting, or begin an exercise routine; or you can learn how to care about yourself enough to implement these changes. Which do you think is more successful?

Behavioral medicine expert, Graciela Rovner and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy cofounder Kelly Wilson explore why self care with compassion is essential if you want to be fully healthy human being.

Stigmatizing People Doesn't Cure Them--Many Voices 5.5

Much of the medical (and even some of the psychotherapeutic) community have a very paternalistic point of view. Doctors want patients to do what they are told. If they don’t, patients are often blamed or stigmatized.
Acceptance and commitment therapy cofounder, Kelly Wilson, and behavior medicine specialist, Graciela Rovner explore this question: When has stigma ever helped cure anyone? And they explore alternatives to the blame and shame model.
