Values clarification — identifying what matters most to you at the deepest level — is a cornerstone of ACT therapy for freudian psychology and provides direction when freudian psychology removes other navigational tools.
Why Values Matter for Freudian Psychology
Freudian Psychology often disconnects us from our values through avoidance, withdrawal, and reduced capacity. Reconnecting with values provides:
- Direction when freudian psychology has eliminated other motivation
- Meaning that persists even through difficult freudian psychology periods
- A basis for action independent of how freudian psychology makes you feel
Clarifying Your Values with Freudian Psychology
Ask yourself: 'If my freudian psychology were less present, what would I be doing more of? What kind of person would I be?'
Values are not goals (achievable and done) but ongoing directions: being a present parent, creating beauty, contributing to others.
Values-Based Action in Freudian Psychology
ACT therapy teaches: act according to values even when freudian psychology is present. Small values-aligned actions, despite freudian psychology, are more sustainable than waiting for freudian psychology to lift first.
