In this episode our ACT expert, Dr. Sonja Batten, explains the role of mindfulness from the ACT perspective. Mindfulness is a core ACT component, and is understood as purposeful nonjudgmental observation of whatever is occurring in the present. This episode also explores how mindfulness is distinguished from similar practices such as meditation, and why it is located on the other pole from being on autopilot or disconnected from the here and now.
