The Prosocial Matrix evolved from the ACT Matrix. ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is an evidenced based therapy that is designed to help individuals to recognize both their emotional inner experiences and the behaviors that follow, that together keep them from moving toward their valued direction. The goal of ACT is to help people to move toward their valued direction even in the presence of the uncomfortable inner experience.
​
The Prosocial Matrix can be used with 2 or more people to help them to move toward their shared purpose, even in the presence of some of the uncomfortable inner experiences (including differences of opinion). The model encourages people to observe the inner experience of all parties, thus allowing opinions and concerns to be expressed, and accepting the struggle as part of the process of growing together to find the best possible solutions.
The business world has come to realize that we can use conflicts to our advantage because creative solutions often reveal themselves when we allow ourselves to respectively disagree. The Prosocial Matrix is an incredibly effective tool that can guide you through some of the daily struggles inherent in social interactions
