ACT Tool Deck - Part 1 is a set of colourful, vibrant cue cards designed to provide practical self-help strategies that are based on principles founded within an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework. ACT is an evidence based intervention used to assist in the treatment of numerous mental health concerns including depression, anxiety and stress. It uses strategies such as mindfulness to help us accept and manage painful emotions, enabling us to live a rich, value-driven, meaningful life.
Part 1 of the ACT Tool Deck series outlines the important theoretical foundations of ACT. It helps users to understand the importance of accepting our emotions and how avoidance can lead to suffering. In addition, it assists us to understand the function of emotions and how emotions are designed to guide our behaviour. It is the perfect introduction to help users understand the origins of their emotional distress and prepares them to seek alternative ways of managing our emotions.
