How Psychological Flexibility Helped Me Bounce Back – And How It Can Change Your Life Too

Oh, and did I mention it happened while I was transitioning out of the Army after 15 years of service at the tail end of a PhD, raising my child as a single parent, and building a multi-state telehealth practice? Yeah, psychological flexibility wasn’t just a nice concept I read about in a book. It became my lifeline.
