The role of low-grade inflammation in ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) - associations with symptoms, 2019, Jonsjö et al

No @Anna H, I understand its not what you meant, but I think that's the purpose of ACT in "medicine".

They take a philosophy out of context and twist it to suit.

Edit - as in it suits them if you accept your symptoms and go away.

I guess it's used that way a lot, yes, sadly

It's more about identifying what your core values are and choosing behaviors based on them, rather than changing our values. Essentially their form of ACT and CBT are the same thing, that we should stop trying to avoid experiencing symptoms (like with pacing) and increase activity, just with the added bit that it is value-based activities that should be increased. But the other parts are the same, including the preposition that symptoms are practically harmless, and it's just our brain telling us nonsense that we do best to ignore if we want to get better.

Which is similar to the LP message; telling the symptoms to 'stop', choosing the 'life you want' over 'the pit'.
pseudoscience.
