I know eating healthier and staying active is deeply important to me, but every time I schedule a workout, my brain talks me out of it and I end up staying on the couch.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT, pronounced as the word "act") was developed by Steven C. Hayes and belongs to the third wave of behavioral therapy. ACT does not aim at symptom reduction, but at psychological flexibility — the ability to act openly and consciously in the present moment, guided by personal values.
Core message: The pain is not the problem — the struggle against the pain is.
The Hexaflex is the central model of ACT. Six core processes together form psychological flexibility. Each process is the counterpart to a pathological process (psychological inflexibility).
