Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy developed to help individuals accept the reality of the difficult situations that life can bring. It works by using mindfulness practices to enable people to recognize their thoughts and feelings, without completely engaging in them. This approach allows for growth, as one can explore their character traits and behaviors with a non-judgmental mindset. ACT also encourages commitment to goals, and any slips up being seen as part of the learning journey rather than roadblocks. Ultimately, this therapy aims to help people understand themselves more deeply and living more meaningful lives through well-developed coping strategies.
