Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

ACT is based on the foundation of Acceptance. We tend to get so consumed by avoiding, or eliminating our negative thoughts and feelings that we spend more time and energy on avoidance, rather than in the experiences that can bring us joy and meaning. ACT encourages individuals to recognize their thoughts as thoughts, and not facts. By creating distance between our thoughts and our beliefs, we begin to shift towards intentional responses and acceptance. ACT works to define core values that individuals possess and ways to stay committed to those values as a guide for decision, actions, and beliefs- even when faced with discomfort and hardship.

"You can't change anything until you accept it"- Carl Jung
