The tools
Start anywhere. The values sort gives the ACT exercises something to build on; the check-ins stand on their own. Everything you save gets one code.
What Matters
Twenty-five values cards. Sort them into high, medium, and low, rank your top seven, and say which are satisfied in your life right now. A written report, emailed, and a code.
Sort the cardsBull’s Eye
A dartboard with your seven values around it. Place a dart for how close you’re living to each, name what gets in the way, and commit to one small move for the week. A week later we ask whether you made it, and you throw again to see what shifted.
Throw your dartsThe Matrix
What you do to get away from what you don’t want to feel, what shows up right before, and what it costs you. Ends with one toward move written as an if-then plan for the moment the pull arrives.
Sort the MatrixFlex
Thirty-six cards across the six skills of psychological flexibility. A six-sided picture of where you already have room to move, one skill to practice, and two exercises for it. Works with or without a code.
Sort FlexCheck-ins
The questionnaires clinicians actually use, free and scored the way they were published: PHQ-9, GAD-7, WHO-5, the PTSD screens, AUDIT, and more. Repeat weekly and watch the line move.

Two people sort separately, then compare by code: what you share, where you’ll need to translate, and three conversations to have. Never a verdict.
How it worksBull’s Eye adapts the Bull’s Eye Values Survey (Lundgren and colleagues, 2012); the Matrix follows Polk and Schoendorff; Flex follows ACT’s six processes. Built on well-studied methods, untested themselves, and none of it is therapy. The ideas behind it.
