Defusion: A Core Process in the ACT Hexagon Model

Defusion undermines unhelpful language processes such as cognitive distortions and negative thoughts by changing how people relate to them.

In this presentation, Dr. DJ Moran introduces defusion in the ACT hexaflex model as 1 of the 6 components that lead to psychological flexibility.

Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:

1. Defusion in the ACT model attempts to undermine unhelpful language processes not aiming to change what people think, but how they relate to what they’re thinking.
2. There are 2 components to language that we address with defusion: automaticity and the power of language over behavior.
