ACT and Psychological Flexibility: Why It Matters, Examples, and Definitions
Psychological flexibility is the capacity to stay in the present moment while being aware of thoughts and emotions. It is linked to better quality of life.
In this presentation, Dr. D. J. Moran explains the definition of psychological flexibility. Research shows that psychological flexibility is related to lower psychopathology measures and higher levels of quality of life. That’s why this concept lies at the core of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Here are some highlights we’ve extracted from this video:
* ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility.
* Psychological flexibility is the capacity to be in contact with the present moment, being aware of thoughts and emotions without trying to change them or being adversely controlled by them, while acting in the pursuit of your values.
