Free Acceptance and Commitment Therapy visual resource by Dr Russ Harris
This visual example from Trauma-Focused ACT shows how to apply the Choice Point model to clients experiencing panic attacks. It helps illustrate how anxiety-related behaviours can move clients away from values and wellbeing — and how mindful, values-based actions can bring them towards courage, connection, and recovery.
An excellent teaching or supervision aid, this diagram supports ACT practitioners in mapping avoidance, values, and emotional triggers in a clear, accessible format.
