Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based, action-oriented and evidence-based approach that encourages individuals to accept uncomfortable emotions rather than avoiding them, while committing to actions that align with their values.

By helping you to embrace your thoughts and feelings, ACT empowers you to live a fulfilling and meaningful life by accepting what is beyond your control and taking meaningful steps toward change.

Key Elements

• Acceptance: Embrace difficult emotions without trying to control them.

• Commitment: Take action aligned with your core values, even when facing discomfort.

Core Processes

1. Acceptance: Coexist with discomfort without letting it control you.

2. Cognitive Defusion: Learn to see thoughts as just thoughts, not commands.

3. Present Moment Awareness: Stay mindful and grounded in the present.

4. Self-as-Context: Understand that you are more than your thoughts and emotions.

5. Values Clarification: Identify what truly matters to guide your actions.

6. Committed Action: Take steps toward your goals, even when it's challenging.
