Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT involves six processes:
Values
Committed Action
Cognitive Defusion
Being Present
Self as Context
Acceptance
For the official description of these processes, Contextual Science is the place to go.
ACT uses a number of metaphors to explain and describe and work through these six processes. So, I’m going to give you some examples to illustrate what this all means.
I’ve described “Values” in another post, but will briefly discuss it hear again.
