Values and Committed Actions in ACT

Defined as acting in the direction of your values, committed action is an element of the ACT hexagon model and aims at psychological flexibility.

In this presentation, Dr. DJ Moran explores how ACT helps clients commit to actions that are relevant to their values.

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

1. Clarifying values helps the client move forward on important committed actions in their life.
2. Commitment is defined as an action in the direction of what you care about—even in the presence of obstacles.
3. Action is supported when the obstacles that impede commitment are helped by acceptance, contacting the present moment, self-as-context work, and defusion.
