Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about helping people to relate to their thoughts and feelings in a more flexible and effective ways and to focus their attention on living well, in line with their deepest values. ACT focuses on six core processes, several of which are addressed by the audio files and exercises that we have compiled below. Feel free to check them out.
- Mindfulness and Acceptance
- Defusion
- Attachment to the Conceptualized Self/Self as Context
- Values
- Self-compassion
Putting these processes together helps you overcome experiential avoidance, giving you the mental freedom to live life more fully.
