Six Core Principles of ACT
Mindful contact with the present moment
De-fusion– Separate self from feelings / experience
Acceptance of what is
Values Identification
The Observing Self– Fly on the wall
Purposeful Action

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"  Kabat-Zinn 2004

Distracting oneself from distress is akin to constantly running away from one’s shadow. In the attempt to control the negative thoughts and feelings, one is at a loss for control in other life situations.

Symptom reduction is not a goal of ACT
Attempting to get rid of “symptoms” actually creates more distress
Private experience is labeled a symptom  a struggle with the symptom
A “symptom” is by definition something “pathological” and something we should try to get rid of.
