ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - can helps us unhook
from negative thought patterns and expand our focus, when we are
in distress or when grief seems all consuming. 


Vic Hathaway is a NZAC therapist based in Auckland, New Zealand.

And here is the Serenity prayer we couldn't get right


"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things
I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom
to know the difference. ... Father, give us courage to change
what must be altered, serenity to accept what
cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the
other."
