ACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern form of psychotherapy that helps individuals embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fight or avoid them. Rooted in mindfulness and behavioral change strategies, ACT encourages acceptance of difficult emotions, commitment to personal values, and taking action aligned with those values. Instead of trying to control or eliminate negative thoughts, ACT teaches people to observe them without judgment and focus on what truly matters. This approach fosters psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present and adapt to life’s challenges. ACT is effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and enhancing overall well-being and meaning in life.
