Navigating life with a neurological condition can present unique challenges, sudden changes in life circumstances, unpredictable future events and loss of control. Negotiating the waves of these experiences requires flexibility and willingness to let go of control of the tide.

This unique guide is structured around the key principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). It explores the core principles of the ACT hexaflex and how to introduce these to clients to best aid understanding. Evidence-based ACT exercises, from mindfulness exercises to creating visual prompts and workbooks, will help professionals to support the social, emotional and mental health of clients and the challenges their conditions present to their identity.

Guiding professionals looking for ready-to-use resources for their practice and non-specialists working in the field, this book helps clinicians to understand how ACT can be applied and adapted for a range of clients experiencing acquired brain injury and progressive neurological conditions.
