Kelsey explains why ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is such a radical idea for therapy, and tries not to sob as she discusses her deep and abiding love for it. She also pays tribute to her mentor, Dr. Norwood, who taught her about this therapy in school and is responsbile for her obnoxious devotion to 3rd wave CBT.
