Welcome to another episode of ACT on Mental Health! In this video, "Learning ACT: The Six Inflexibility Processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy," we’re diving deep into the six core processes that lie at the heart of psychological inflexibility—the foundation of human suffering and mental health challenges.

If you’ve ever wondered why people get stuck in patterns of avoidance, rumination, or self-criticism, this video is for you. We’ll break down concepts like experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, and rigid self-narratives, and explain how they contribute to emotional struggles. You’ll also learn how these processes block us from living a values-driven, fulfilling life.

This video is perfect for mental health professionals, graduate students, and anyone curious about the science behind ACT. We’ll explore practical insights from Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and evolutionary science to help you understand how ACT addresses these challenges and fosters psychological flexibility.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

The six psychological inflexibility processes and their role in mental health.
Why avoidance and overthinking can trap us in cycles of suffering.
How ACT helps us break free from rigid patterns and live more intentionally.
