ACT for gender identity : the comprehensive guide / Alex Stitt.

"Increasingly adopted by therapists and mental health professionals, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients cope with social, emotional, and mental health issues by using six core processes - acceptance, cognitive defusion, being present, self-as-context, values, and committed action. This is the go-to guide for evidence-based ACT techniques to be used by professionals working with transgender, nonbinary, and gender explorative clients. It provides mindfulness and emotional processing skills clients can use throughout their lives, from the early stages of disclosure and self-actualization; to navigating prejudice, social pressure, and cultural intersectionality; to addressing mental health issues, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse; to building a career, developing a family, and cultivating a meaningful legacy."--From back cover.
