The document discusses using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to treat binge eating disorder. ACT aims to help people accept painful thoughts and feelings while committing to valued goals. It involves mindfulness skills to facilitate valued action. The core messages of ACT are to accept what you cannot control (thoughts and feelings) and commit to valued actions. Mindfulness is an awareness of present experiences without judgment. Values clarify life directions and purpose to guide committed action. Cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance are processes that can get in the way of valued living.
