Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Overview
ACT is an evidence-based, mindfulness-driven approach that helps individuals develop a healthier relationship with their thoughts and emotions. Rather than fighting against difficult feelings, ACT encourages acceptance, self-compassion, and a reconnection with personal values. This allows for greater psychological flexibility.
Patient Experience
Many people turn to ACT when feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from what gives life meaning. It can be especially helpful for those who have tried to push away unwanted thoughts or “think positively” without success. ACT provides a gentle, supportive way to move toward a more meaningful life, even in the presence of stress or uncomfortable emotions.
