Acceptance and Commitment coaching techniques: Passengers on the bus

In this short paper we introduce the first in a series of Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC) tools. This article builds on the previous paper, which provides an introduction to ACT and is therefore best read in conjunction with that paper. ‘Passengers on the bus’ aims to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and to recognise that these are just thoughts (and to separate from them), while also increasing their choicefulness in any decision, and to accept that such thoughts, while being acknowledged, can be disregarded.
