==== Values ==== ACT encourages clients to get in touch with their personal values. Actions are often determined by social conformity and attempts to please others with the result that one loses touch with core values. When we say someone made a bad choice, we usually refer to the negative outcome of an action rather than the values that guided it. ACT therapists frequently use the funeral thought experiment to help clients think about their values.<ref name="Hayesbook" /> Clients are asked to think about what they want their loved ones to say at their own funeral. Usually, people want to be remembered as loving and generous, not as someone who made a lot of money. Consequently, clients learn to differentiate means from goals, the important from the unimportant.
