So much of therapy is about our feelings and thoughts, that it can be easy to forget that life is in the doing; in the actions we take towards what matters most. Committed actions or values-based behaviors is one of the six core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

This video will walk you through what values-based behaviors are, how committed actions and goal setting differ, and what you can begin doing now to take steps towards your values.

    Thank you so much for creating this video series, Jessica. I'd heard of ACT but never really knew what it was. Now that I've seen this overview, I feel like I've found something that will really work for me! Thank you!

    Amazing, after so many research eventually I found this meaningful guide, thank you! and would be great if you make a video about setbacks, because it's a huge problem against progress:)

    I appreciate your videos. Thank you. Also, in your individual sessions, what is the ratio of you talking vs the client talking? I am asking as a prelicensed therapist. Thank you again.

    Hi Dr. Jessica, do you think ACT can help with empty nest syndrome?
