Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidenced-based therapy that has been scientifically studied for over 30 years through hundreds of randomized controlled studies. ACT has been found to be very effective in treating anxiety, depression, grief, stress and trauma along with many other conditions. The focus of ACT is to develop the ability for intentional, values-guided action. The more we cultivate this ability, the potential for living a fulfilling and meaningful life increases. ACT is about taking action: to solve problems, and do things that make life better and more fulfilling. ACT is acceptance focused, not just on the presenting problem, but a whole life approach focus. ACT is about being present, and more flexible with thoughts. ACT teaches skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively, so they have less impact and influence over you. ACT focuses on your values: what matters to you , what you want to stand for, how you want to treat yourself and others, what gives you a sense of meaning and purpose. ACT is teamwork, you and I working together to cultivate skills and values-guided action toward a fulfilling, meaningful life.
