The ACT Matrix

The ACT Matrix is a framework used in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that helps individuals understand their thoughts and emotions in relation to their actions. It consists of four main components: **Accept** difficult thoughts and feelings, **Choose** your values—what truly matters to you, **Take action** towards those values, and **Connect** with the present moment. By using this matrix, people can learn to navigate challenges, reduce avoidance behavior, and live a more meaningful life aligned with their values, enhancing overall well-being and resilience.
