Hexaflex Model

The Hexaflex Model is a framework used in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) that promotes psychological flexibility by focusing on six core processes. These processes help individuals better manage their thoughts and emotions, enabling them to live more meaningfully despite challenges.

The six core processes of the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) model are present-moment awareness, acceptance, cognitive defusion, self-as-context, values, and committed action. These processes work together to reduce psychological rigidity and promote behavior aligned with one's values.

The Hexaflex Model was developed by Steven C. Hayes, a clinical psychologist, as part of the broader framework of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). It is grounded in Relational Frame Theory and aims to improve psychological flexibility.
