ACT has growing evidence as a trauma-informed therapy, effective for reducing PTSD symptoms and avoidance
ACT for Trauma and PTSD is an adaptation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma. Unlike some therapies that focus heavily on retelling traumatic events, ACT emphasizes reducing avoidance, building mindfulness skills, and committing to values-based actions even when painful memories or emotions arise.
This approach helps individuals accept their experiences without judgment, defuse from overwhelming thoughts, and take practical steps toward healing. By focusing on values and present moment awareness, ACT for Trauma creates a safe, steady path forward for survivors of trauma.
Fostering Healing, Resilience, and Emotional Regulation
Supports facing memories and triggers with acceptance
Teaches mindfulness to manage fear, grief, and hyperarousal
Encourages living according to values, not past trauma
Helps survivors reclaim agency and build hope for the future
Sessions often begin with mindfulness exercises to create calm and safety. Clients learn techniques to step back from intrusive thoughts, shift how they relate to painful memories, and clarify personal values that can guide healing.
Instead of forcing trauma retelling, ACT for Trauma allows clients to move at their own pace, with the option to process difficult experiences while maintaining emotional stability. Homework often includes mindfulness practice and small, values-based action steps.
