How it works
Targets experiential avoidance and the fusion between feared thoughts and literal reality. ACT promotes acceptance of discomfort in service of values, reducing the motivational fuel behind avoidance.
Particularly well-suited when phobias are connected to deeply held values (e.g. fear of flying limiting family relationships). May be combined with exposure.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
