What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

ACT is a type of psychotherapy that was developed in the 1980s. It is based on the idea that psychological distress is caused by our attempts to control or avoid our thoughts and feelings. ACT teaches us that it is not possible to control our thoughts and feelings. However, we can learn to accept them and to commit to our values.

ACT is a skills-based therapy. This means that it teaches you specific skills that you can use to manage your emotions and improve your life. These skills include:

Mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It can help you to become more aware of your thoughts and feelings and to accept them without trying to change them.
Acceptance: Acceptance is the willingness to experience your thoughts and feelings without trying to change them. It does not mean that you have to like your thoughts and feelings. It simply means that you are willing to experience them without judgment.
Commitment: Commitment is the willingness to take action towards your values, even when it is difficult. It can help you to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
