80th Birthday Exercise for Values Exploration

One of the classic ACT techniques for exploring values is the “imagine your 80th birthday” or the “imagine your funeral,” exercise. There are many ways to do this exercise. Attached to this page is a script showing one example of how to do this. (Be sure to be logged in with a current membership in order to download it). Enjoy!

80th Birthday exercise - therapy homework version

Thanks for creating this Doug.

I needed to give a version of this to a client this week who wants to do the writing work at home, so I edited your original to suit that format and have uploaded it here.

Feel free to offer it to your clients who like doing homework!
