Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

The core of ACT is a change in both internal (self-talk) and external (action) verbal behavior. Simply observing oneself having feelings and recognizing and accepting that feelings are a natural outgrowth of circumstances is freeing.

ACT develops psychological flexibility and is a form of behavioral therapy that combines mindfulness skills with the practice of self-acceptance. When aiming to be more accepting of your thoughts and feelings, commitment plays a key role. In the case of ACT, you commit to facing the problem head-on rather than avoiding your stresses. Imagine committing to actions that help you facilitate your experience and embrace any challenge.
