Our group of psychologists developed with our IT department an app that therapists can use as a supplement to their ACT-therapy. Our main purpose was to give our clients some kind of support between the sessions and after the therapy is finished. The features of our app are:
- Value card sorting task
- Life compas where clients can rate how well they live according to their values in 4 domains (work, love, play and health) and list value oriented actions
- These value oriented actions are stored in a list: if the client doesn't check them off within a week, the client gets a friendly reminder of his intended actions
- The app keeps track of the valuescores and all the logs so the client (but also the therapist) can track his progress
- Tips and tricks for how to deal with obstacles in value oriented behaviour
- ACT now button is a crisistool for difficult moments which combine an easy present-moment-excercise with a reminder of what is realy important in life
At this moment the app is available in iOs and Android and in Dutch, French and English. If someone wants to try it out, they can send an e-mail to [email protected] and we set up a free account.
