According to triple board certified neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho, acceptance and commitment therapy is “all about developing psychological flexibility through six skill domains to tap from whenever you have an issue.”
The goal of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is to increase psychological flexibility, or the ability to enter the present moment more fully, and to either change or persist in behavior as long as it serves your values.
So how does it work?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is divided into six modules:
1 - Acceptance
2 - Cognitive Defusion
3 - Being Present
4 - Self as Context
5 - Values
6 - Committed Action
If you are passionate about self-discovery, self-improvement, and creating a better relationship with “You,” then this is the mock therapy session for you. After experiencing what an ACT session feels like, you will understand how to (and be motivated to) traverse the research-backed road to self-discovery that acceptance and commitment therapy provides.
What to expect during the mock session:
Dr. Judy will walk Kyle through an ACT exercise to uncover how his cognitive distortions and deep-rooted thoughts impact his sense of self—and his self-worth. All of this plays a role in his current-day behavior. You’ll be able to easily ‘insert’ a challenge in your own life—and work through it—right as the session progresses.
