ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a 3rd Wave therapeutic behavioral approach cultivating the therapeutic target of psychological flexibility. This approach helps you change your relationship to thoughts, sensations, and urges without getting entangled with the struggle to change one’s internal experience. ACT is a model that grounds clients in a detailed evaluation of values and then guide towards a value directed life with value directed behaviors. This therapeutic approach can be applied to wide-ranging clinical diagnostic areas. Learn how to incorporate ACT with expressive techniques to make concepts accessible and translatable to populations served.
