100 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Questions to Ask Your Clients (PDF Templates Bundle)

Asking the right questions in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is essential for helping clients connect with their inner experiences, clarify their values, and develop psychological flexibility. The ACT approach invites clients to observe their thoughts without judgment, make space for uncomfortable emotions, and take committed action in service of a more meaningful life. That process starts with the right questions—ones that uncover stuck points, highlight patterns of avoidance, and spark curiosity about change. That’s why we created the 100 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Questions + PDF Templates bundle—an evidence-based resource designed to support ACT clinicians in facilitating deeper, values-driven sessions from the start. Whether you’re helping clients unhook from unhelpful thoughts or guiding them to identify what matters most, this toolkit equips you with versatile prompts that can be used in session, as prep work, or for reflection between visits.

Example Questions in This Bundle:

The ACT Questions + PDF Templates bundle includes 100 carefully crafted prompts rooted in ACT’s six core processes: cognitive defusion, acceptance, present moment awareness, self-as-context, values, and committed action. These questions help clients explore internal experiences, notice how avoidance shows up, clarify what they care about, and move toward greater alignment with their values.

1. What does acceptance mean to you in the context of your struggles?
2. How comfortable are you with uncertainty or discomfort?
3. When do you notice yourself getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts?
4. How often do you try to avoid or control your emotions?
5. What would happen if you let go of trying to control your feelings?
6. How do you distinguish between your thoughts and reality?
7. Can you observe your thoughts without getting caught up in them?
8. How do you practice being present in the moment?
9. What mindfulness exercises have you found helpful?
10. How do you bring awareness to your body sensations?
