Anger can lead to avoidance and distress but is a valuable source of information about a client’s values. Defusion is a useful tool for this in ACT.

Anger can lead to avoidance and distress but is a valuable source of information about a client’s values. Defusion is a useful tool for this in ACT. In this presentation, Dr. Sonja Batten discusses how to address anger with trauma survivors.

Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:

1. Anger is often addressed indirectly in trauma-focused therapy.
2. In ACT, the trauma survivor is engaged to approach anger as a valid source of information about values.
3. The client is supported to slow down the moment of the anger response and choose more workable behavior.
