• Acceptance: ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings, even if they are negative or uncomfortable.
• Values clarification: ACT helps individuals identify what is truly important to them in life.
• Committed action: ACT teaches individuals how to take action toward their goals, even when it is difficult.
