What is ACT?

ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment. At its core, it teaches that fighting against unpleasant thoughts and feelings often makes them more distressing. Through ACT, you learn to:

• Accept your inner experiences with kindness and openness.
• Commit to meaningful actions guided by your deepest values

This combination of acceptance and committed action empowers you to build a life that reflects what truly matters to you, even when challenges arise.

How Does ACT Work?

• Mindfulness and Openness: You’ll develop skills to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment or avoidance. By staying present in the moment, you become less trapped by anxious or negative thinking patterns.
• Clarifying Values: Together, we identify the principles and qualities that are most important to you. These values act as a compass, guiding the choices and actions you take moving forward.
• Committed Action: Rather than allowing fear or discomfort to hold you back, you’ll practice taking actions aligned with your values—even when it’s challenging. Over time, these small steps lead to bigger changes in your life.

Real-Life Applications of ACT

• Stress Management: By learning to accept stress as a normal part of life, you reduce its hold on you and increase your ability to cope effectively.
