The ACT Flip Chart: A Psychoeducational Tool to Build Psychological Flexibility and Facilitate Values-Based Action - Spiral

by Richard Sears (Author)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) provides a powerful framework for getting clients unstuck and helping them live a more meaningful, values-guided life.

In The ACT Flip Chart, clinicians will find a variety of interactive tools and exercises that bring the six core elements of ACT to life:

• Self-as-context
• Defusion
• Experiential acceptance
• Present-moment awareness
• Values
• Committed action

The chart's engaging and easy-to-use nature makes it ideal for helping clients to:

• Develop psychological flexibility
• Let go of ineffective behaviors
• Connect with their values
• Become more present and aware
• Relate differently to distressing thoughts and difficult emotions
• Take values-based action in the face of discomfort
• And more!

Included you will find:

• 22 full-color diagrams on client-facing pages
• Additional explanations and sample scripts on each corresponding therapist-facing page
• Dry-erase client pages for easy markup, customization, and reuse!
