Increasingly adopted by therapists and mental health professionals, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients to cope with social, emotional and mental health issues by using the six core ACT processes: Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Being Present, the Self as Context, Values and Committed Action.

This is the go-to-guide for evidence-based ACT techniques to be used by professionals to help their transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, third gender and agender clients. It

provides the tools to help these clients develop emotional processing skills they can implement throughout their life, from coping with mental health issues and substance abuse, to navigating prejudice and social pressure, to building a career and developing a family.

Introduction: Storm Cloud Butterflies. 1. Gender Affirmative ACT. 2 Awareness. 3. Acceptance. 4. Actualization. 5. Adaption: ACT for Transgender Mental Health. 6. Affirmation. 7. Epilogue: Of Moths & Meaning.

Alex Stitt has written a truly delightful, comprehensive, thoughtful, and engaging book about working with trans and nonbinary clients in therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - a mindfulness based approach - provides a meta framework for understanding gender, sexuality, and intersectional identities. I have learned so much from Alex Stitt's perspective, about the complexity of gender, the power of relational therapy, and of course, about ACT - a series of skills and techniques available to all clinicians, regardless of your background and training. The tone is deceptively casual, the language is decidedly queer, and the range of tools is broad and comprehensive.
