Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches you to become psychologically flexible, to let go of rigid patterns, and to build a life you choose, rather than a life based on avoiding or fighting feelings and thoughts.  

Many unwanted experiences, including thoughts and feelings, can’t be controlled or avoided, but you can commit to actions that keep you living in line with your personal values.

ACT works in three areas: accept the emotion and be mindful, choose a direction, and then act accordingly.
