In this clinical case, participants will explore how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports transgender clients in navigating the challenges of gender dysphoria and transition. Through a comprehensive approach, ACT fosters mindfulness, reduces experiential avoidance, and encourages clients to take meaningful, value-based actions aligned with their authentic selves. The course delves into essential ACT techniques such as defusion, self-as-context, and committed action, helping transgender clients unhook from unhelpful thoughts, enhancing body awareness, and cultivating self-acceptance. This case provides a practical framework for therapists seeking to support their clients in their personal and medical transition journeys.
