Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is rooted in the understanding that the struggle against painful emotions is often counterproductive.
What is ACT?
Using ACT, we promote mindful acceptance of emotions and focus on actions that align with personal values, encouraging a life true to oneself despite challenges.
The goal of ACT is to foster psychological flexibility – the ability to be open, adaptable, and resilient in the face of life's difficulties.
Benefits in Treating Anxiety
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy can help you acknowledge and accept your anxious thoughts & feelings without judgment.Through mindfulness, you'll learn to observe & detach from your thoughts, gaining greater control over your emotions and responses.
Benefits in Treating Depression
Through mindfulness & behavior change, ACT can help in breaking free from negative thought patterns and promoting behaviors that contribute to a more fulfilling life. This approach can foster a sense of purpose and connection, potentially reducing symptom severity and enhancing overall well-being.
How Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Supports Introverts
ACT encourages individuals to accept themselves fully, including their introverted nature. Rather than trying to change introverted traits, this approach focuses on leveraging these qualities as strengths.
