Part eight of a twelve-part series on ACT processes


This is a tip I picked up from Kirk Strosahl, one of the original founders of ACT (although he tells me it's not his invention, and a number of brief therapies use some version of it).


When your client agrees to some specific action that he will take between sessions, ask "On a scale of one to ten, where one is 'I have no confidence I'm going to do this' and ten is 'I'm definitely going to do this, no matter what; it's as good as done,' how likely do you think it is that you will actually follow through on this?"
