Synopsis

From the back...
Nah then!

Sometimes unwanted thoughts, feelings and "stuff" can get in the way of what we want. This book will try to get you closer to where you want to be and move you beyond your "stuff".

How can we do this? This book takes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and filters it down through the Yorkshire bedrock. We will use familiar examples and what I hope is a dollop of grounded humour to get you where you want to go.

So, let's ger on wi it"

Reviews

Ross McIntosh - People Soup Podcast & Organisational Psychologist
"A brilliantly useful book for life.
Steve has created a tremendously useful book and in doing so he's making practical evidence-based skills more accessible, useful and fun for a wider audience. These skills are truly skills for life. He writes in a conversational Sheffield vernacular in a tone that is warm and friendly with a good dose of Yorkshire straightforwardness.
He brings the ACT processes to life through his words, his own cartoons and through two stunt doubles, Bob and Jane, to illustrate the skills and their impact. It's packed full of nuggets, insights and exercises.
With chapter titles like 'Exaflex, What's the catch, Why's my mind such an arse AND I like big BUTs and I cannot lie, there's a heck of a lot to love in this book.
Hat's off to you Steve. Highly recommended.

Dr Ray Own - Author of Facing the Storm and Living with the Enemy
"Since the first one was published 21 years ago, there have been many books on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
There's never been one like this, though!
As well as being thorough, clear and well-rooted in the evidence, Dr Jones brings his sense of humour, and a love of his
Useful, fun and well worth a read - and that's coming from a Lancastrian!"

Dr Nic Hooper - Author of The Unbreakable Student
"Often in books like these, the human being behind the words does not show themselves. That is not the case with this book where the author writes in an entertaining, humorous and authentic tone. I think it's a good place to start for people that aren't after traditional self-help but who do want to start thinking about how to thrive"

A bit more about the book...

ACT Made Yorkshire is written by myself Dr Steve Jones. I am a Clinical Psychologist who works in England. I have grown up, studied and am now work in Sheffield. Sheffield, and more broadly Yorkshire is my home. I am fiercely proud of where I have grown up and wanted to write something in a style that would have hit the mark with me. The aim of this book is to take mental wellbeing, something that can often be seen as "other" or "indulgent", and to make it more useful for more people. I have also made recordings which are explained in the book, apologies that it is just my voice and no one more exciting, but hopefully these exercises add some character to the scripts which are written in the pages..

As the book mentions, it is not a replacement for more formal therapy or psychological intervention and is intended for use with less severe mental health difficulties. If you require additional support then please consult your doctor or local support systems. Please look after yourself.

If you are a mental health professional and reading some of the reimagined metaphors and exercises then I hope that you find them useful. If you do then that is wonderful. Please feel free to take anything you find in here and adapt it for your own practice. I have always wanted to write a book and this is me putting my money where my mouth is. .
