In this Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) Seminar, incorporating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) exercises into one’s clinical practice will be discussed. ACT is an evidence-based approach to therapy that has been shown to be an effective treatment for anxiety disorders (A-Tjak et al., 2015), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (Soondrum et al., 2022), depression (Bai et al., 2021), chronic pain (Veehof et al., 2016), stress (Gregorie et al., 2018) and a broad range of emotional and behavioral struggles (Gloster et al., 2020). ACT helps clients build a rich and meaningful life by emphasizing taking actions that are values-consistent, and learning ways to cope with the difficult thoughts and feelings that arise from those actions. ACT is well-known for its emphasis on experiential learning in and outside of the therapy room. Clients are asked to engage with new behaviors and skills, and to notice what happens in order to learn what changes may be of benefit to them. This is also the approach in therapy sessions. The ACT therapist introduces concepts through the creative application of metaphors, reflective and meditative exercises, skills practice, and the exploration of the therapeutic process in the moment. From the ACT perspective, clients (and therapists) learn best through embracing experiences fully and participating wholeheartedly. In alignment with these ACT principles, this seminar will cover the ACT model and assumptions through the practice of three ACT-consistent exercises that will illustrate some of the core mechanisms of change in ACT.
