Create a worksheet for an adult that has two sections related to ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy): Acceptance, and Cognitive defusion. Provide the mental health client small tasks to complete with each so they understand the process
This learning resource focuses on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), providing clients with insights to define and apply acceptance and cognitive defusion in their lives. The document includes reflective writing exercises and structured practices aimed at helping individuals experience and process their internal emotions without judgment. Through sections dedicated to understanding acceptance and mastering cognitive defusion, clients learn to 'make room' for their feelings rather than suppress them. Techniques like the physical scan, expansion practices, and visualizations are introduced to cultivate a receptive stance toward inner experiences, reducing emotional struggle. Overall, the resource encourages individuals to watch their thoughts like passing clouds, fostering a greater sense of awareness and emotional flexibility.
