ACT is a principle-based behavioral intervention that addresses human suffering from a mindful and compassionate perspective. While ACT applies to a wide variety of problems, it is especially powerful for treating trauma.
While ACT has been applied to a wide variety of problems, it’s especially powerful for treating trauma. ACT is great for diversity. It covers so many different backgrounds and needs. Trauma is experienced by nearly half the population and is a key factor for psychological difficulties in many who present to psychotherapy. The aftermath of war, interpersonal violence, natural disasters, childhood trauma, and others can have long-term psychological effects. The painful emotional experiences found in the fallout of trauma often leads to symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety, and other issues related to life functioning, including a variety of behavioral problems ranging from substance abuse to relationship dysfunction.
Dr. Walser is invested in developing innovative ways to translate science-into-practice and continues to do research and education on dissemination of ACT and other therapies.
