ACT is based on 40 years of lab and clinical research, showing how well it works, which is always important.2. ACT doesn’t just focus on making you feel better. It focuses on making your life more RICH and MEANINGFUL. In this way, feeling better just becomes a welcome side-effect rather than a focus, which works very well in my experience.3. ACT is not just a therapy. The approach works so well, people have even used it to to grow their organisation, improve their coaching skills and even help win gold medals at Olympics.Research has found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is beneficial for many different challenges, including:<ul><li>workplace stress</li><li>test anxiety</li><li>social anxiety disorder</li><li>depression</li><li>obsessive-compulsive disorder</li><li>psychosis</li><li>chronic pain</li><li>substance abuse</li><li>diabetes</li></ul>As ACT is a trans-diagnostic approach that increases psychological flexibility, so its approach are potentially beneficial for everyone who is open to trying it.<h1>Syllabus</h1>Week 1 - Introduction to ACT.
