A New Expression of ACT — Turning Insight into Artistry and
Presence into Performance.

A Heart-Centered Approach to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

As a poetess, not a therapist, Dharlene Marie Fahl wondered if the evidence-based elements of real therapies could be translated into poetry — imagining a more creative way to revitalize the spirit. What emerged is a living practice — a heart-led fusion of reflection, creation, and transformation — a hybrid between poem, play, and process, where language and insight share the same stage.

In this groundbreaking blend of creativity and compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is reimagined as a living, breathing play. Through poetry, dialogue, dance, reflection, and lyrical guidance, the six core processes of ACT — Acceptance, Defusion, Present-Moment Awareness, Self-as-Context, Values, and Committed Action — come alive — each revealing the art of being human and the truth of intentional living.

As part of the Self-Therapy Poetry series, ACT invites you to take your place in the story — where the spotlight is awareness itself, and every scene becomes a chance to live more fully.

The best seat in the house awaits you — take your place beside awareness itself and watch this human story unfold.
