A wonderful tool that makes ACT come alive!
As a therapist I can imagine using the ACT for your Best Life Card Deck in multiple ways: drawing a card in session and discussing what it might be like to live with that quality or asking clients to take a card for home practice. Or, as self-guided practice you could choose a card randomly on the spot or with intention. Lots of wonderful ways to snapshot ACT processes and make them come alive— in session, at home or on your own. The deck is also a great learning asset for practitioners.
