Welcome to ACT taking hurt to hope.
Today’s program discusses values work in the ACT model. I have looked at how different researchers around the world work with values in therapy sessions. One of the most innovative persons in the ACT community is Dr Louise Hayes from Australia who has developed something called Values Cards for working with adolescents.
