In appreciation of ACT: Acceptance, Cognitive defusion, Valued action

[Guest guest]

Hello group members,

I wish to express my great appreciation for ACT. Although I learned about it

recently, I have found that whenever I practice Acceptance, Cognitive defusion,

and Valued action, it works very well. My heartfelt thanks to Professor

.

Thanks but really ACT is a community effort, and not just professionals either.Many, many classic ACT methods were invented by clients. I still remember the momentone of my clients described the tug of war with the monster metaphor

as a way of expressing how she'd been changed by ACT, for example.That has been repeated dozens of timesIf you hang around this list serve you will see what I mean.

There is a lot of hard won wisdom hereI look forward to what you find- S C. Foundation ProfessorDepartment of Psychology /298
