The ACT Matrix is a Simple Tool For Finding Meaning And Purpose In All Walks Of Life.
Acceptance and Commitment Training/Therapy (ACT) is an an evidenced-based way of helping you let go of struggling and get moving toward valued living. The ACT Matrix is easy to learn, yet infinite in meaning.
The "Matrix" is a 2x2 grid (or matrix) that is formed by crossing two lines.
You can see a picture of it on this page. The matrix is a diagram for engaging people in the ACT process. You look at the diagram and answer four very simple questions. Then you sort your answers onto the matrix.
What you need to do for who and what's important becomes clear to you.
The stuff that has been showing up and getting in the way has much less power over you. You quickly start learning how to add meaning to your life.
Engaging people in the ACT process with the matrix is very different that teaching them about ACT. After only a minute or two with the matrix people begin learning how see their lives from a flexible point of view. With this point of view people can quickly learn how to move in valued directions, even while they are having fear, pain or other unpleasant feelings.
Think of the ACT Matrix as shooting baskets by yourself. You focus on your senses for successful shooting.
You also focus on your mind and let go of the fear of missing and such.
You learn how to move toward making baskets.
You learn how to effectively move away from uncomfortable stuff that gets in the way of making baskets.
The ProSocial Matrix Tool Continues the ACT Matrix
The ProSocial Matrix is used with two or more people.
The couple or group answers four additional simple questions and sorts the answers onto the 2x2 matrix. They gain what is known as psychological safety. With increased psychological safety they can more easily move toward shared purposes while positively dealing with interpersonal obstacles.
With the ProSocial Matrix you have progressed from shooting baskets alone to working as a team.
Far beyond just winning the team focuses on camaraderie, sharing, building each other up and more.
More than anything they focus on, in the words of Bobby Knight, "The willingness to prepare to win."
