• Everyone encounters stress, disappointment, loss, and even trauma. Genuine resilience comes from knowing how to manage and cope. ACT’s cognitive defusion is a way to gain psychological distance from overwhelming emotions so they can be managed. Distancing language, visualization, labeling, or the “leaves on a stream” exercise can help.
