Six Sides Cubed

So the six sides of the ACT Rubik's Cube have now been presented through the lens of this case. You’ve seen how to help the client become more present, identify their values, practice acceptance, get some distance from sticky thoughts, step back from self-stories that may keep them stuck, and take committed action toward what matters to them, watering the seeds they want to grow in their life.

What’s interesting about ACT is that when you start working on these six core processes, your client’s life will open up in unexpected ways. It’s no longer just about, let’s get you to stop binge eating or get rid of that test anxiety. It becomes more about, let’s get your life moving in directions that matter to you.
