• Psychological Flexibility is consciously contacting the present more fully, without needless defense, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of chosen values.
• transdiagnostic focused on common core processes known to underlie many forms of psychopathology
• Experiential avoidance –Experiential avoidance is the tendency to attempt to alter the form, frequency, or situational sensitivity of historically produced negative private experience (emotions, thoughts, bodily sensations) even when attempts to do so cause psychological and behavioral harm
• Acceptance Actively contacting psychological experiences –directly, fully, and without needless defense –while behaving effectively
• Defusion Looking at thoughts, rather than from thoughts   Seeing thoughts as what they are, not as what they say they are
• Self as Context A sense-of-self that is a consistent perspective from which to observe and accept all changing experiences
• Values Chosen life directions –Values give life meaning–There is a distinction between a value and a goal
• Committed Action Overt behavior in the service of values   Moving forward in your important chosen directions
