Description
ACT for Gender Identity: The Comprehensive Guide provides therapists and mental health professionals with the tools to help their clients develop emotional processing skills to cope with social, emotional, and mental health issues. Based on the six core Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) processes, this guide offers evidence-based techniques to support transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, third gender, and agender individuals.
By using the six core ACT processes - Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Being Present, the Self as Context, Values, and Committed Action - this guide helps clients develop skills to navigate mental health issues, substance abuse, prejudice, and social pressure, as well as build a career and develop a family.
With this comprehensive guide, professionals can provide their clients with the support and tools they need to thrive in their lives.
