ACT:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

A therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique form of psychotherapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, alongside commitment and behavior change techniques, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. It helps people to live a life aligned with their values while managing the pain and stress that is inevitable in life.
