The life line exercise is an experiential metaphor to help the therapeutic dyad discuss and establish the basic ACT principles. It comes from The Art & Science of Valuing in Psychotherapy: Helping Clients Discover, Explore, and Committed to Valued Action Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Dahl, Plumb, Steward, & Lundgren, 2009). This brief summary was put together as a way of teaching ACT for workshops in Sierra Leone.
