ACT in Action: 24 Annotated Session Transcripts

Reading a script is one thing. Hearing it work with a real, difficult client is another. These are 24 fictional, realistic session excerpts, four per ACT process, each showing a Playbook card used with a tough client: resistant, mandated, tearful, angry, grieving, a teen, an over-intellectualizer, a telehealth session.

Margin notes explain what the therapist is doing and why. In every transcript something doesn’t land at first, so you see exactly how the therapist recovers. Each ends with a one-paragraph takeaway. Read one before you try a card for the first time.
