Behavioral Science Meets the Gentle Art: ACT On and Off the Mats with Alexis Stevenson, MA, BCBA, LBA
In this episode of Chokeholds & Chill, we’re exploring what happens when behavioral science steps onto the mats. Jenn and Mal are joined by Alexis Stevenson—a board-certified behavior analyst and purple belt whose research on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) brings a fresh lens to training, mindset, and mental health.
Lex breaks down complex concepts like cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, and self-as-context in a way that’s relatable for grapplers and non-grapplers alike. She shares how ACT can help us commit to our goals, accept discomfort, and lead with our values—whether we’re rolling, recovering, or navigating life’s toughest rounds.
