The content in this video is presented by Carla Walton, and explores the six core elements of Acceptance and Commitment to Therapy (ACT). Additionally, this video also discusses the way in which ACT can be used to address eating disorders specifically. This directly relates to the individual avoiding painful emotions through eating disorder behaviours and evaluating how effective these strategies are in managing ones emotional problems long term. This involves the individual making choices based on values rather than emotional control.
