Transcript
The take-home messages from this module are that committed action is the final ACT process discussed.
Committed action refers to action taken toward values. Behavioral principles and techniques including exposures can be integrated into ACT at this stage.
If you do include exposures, when you complete them, do so from an ACT perspective where the focus is on eliciting difficult internal experiences so that the client can practice the concepts that they have learned. There is a case example of an ACT consistent exposure. And this module ends with a summary of the most important concepts to remember in providing ACT for OCD.
