Emotion regulation in acceptance and commitment therapy
Overview
This paper outlines how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches emotion regulation by encouraging clients to directly experience unpleasant emotions rather than attempting to change or avoid them. It explains that the therapy aims to reduce the literal impact of language on emotional distress, thereby facilitating movement toward valued life goals. The resource includes a case study to illustrate core techniques and is intended for clinicians and researchers interested in this therapeutic modality.
