Why this fits the ACBS vibe
- Healthy Boundaries → values-anchored scripts + mini-rehearsals (defusion → values → committed action in interpersonal contexts).
- Self-Compassion (that sticks) → micro-reps that increase persistence without lowering standards (“Thanks, mind” → name the value → kind, precise next step).
- Professional Self-Care → one-page workability plans (tiny, sustainable behaviors tracked by fit, not perfection).
