This episode examines the ACT perspective on acceptance and willingness for treating trauma clients. They are seen as a functional alternative to control and avoidance, which are at the center of maintaining PTSD symptoms over time. Encouraging clients to engage in these new patterns requires therapists to help them understand the rationale behind acceptance and how it can improve quality of life.
