About Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapy that focuses on accepting all emotions, including "bad emotions", as fleeting experiences rather than fighting against them.
Common Challenges
- Thinking your way out is not working
- I'm getting stuck on a thought and accepting it as an absolute fact rather than a passing thought
- I cannot adapt when plans change or see situations from a different perspective
How We Work
- Challenging thoughts
Changing the phrasing of a thought so you acknowledge it originates from you but is not a defining characteristic -"I'm behind everyone else in life."
- Shifting
adding layers to your thoughts to bring your awareness to noticing something rather than stopping in your tracks when they thougths arise
