Synopsis

Life is often busy, demanding and full of challenges that can cause us to lose sight of what really matters. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Journal is designed to help individuals focus on the things that are most important to them by identifying personal values and putting them centre-stage where they can best guide actions and decisions. Taking the form of a 12-week course of structured self-development, with ACT-informed guidance, reflection exercises and goal-setting tasks, it is especially helpful for those engaged in ACT and other forms of brief therapy and/or coaching. However, the principles and lessons are relevant to anyone seeking a self-help guide to increase personal wellbeing, connect fully with experiences and pursue an authentic life.

Values clarification exercises at the outset help users to define life directions and include lists of sample values to stimulate ideas. Accessible pieces by the authors then discuss aspects of ACT and psychological flexibility, present helpful metaphors, and suggest exercises for the week ahead that will help to identify core values, clarify issues and record goals. Reflection spaces offer regular opportunities to record thoughts, identify barriers and track progress. Filled with expert guidance and inspirational quotations, The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Journal is the perfect self-help companion for focusing on the positives and creating lasting change in your life.
