What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapy form that combines acceptance and mindfulness strategies with values-driven action. Instead of fighting difficult thoughts and feelings, you learn to make room for them while acting towards what matters to you. ACT is used for anxiety, depression, stress, chronic pain, and a wide range of other issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'acceptance' mean in ACT?

Acceptance in ACT does not mean accepting bad life situations. It is about stopping the struggle against unavoidable thoughts and feelings so you can use your energy to act towards your values.

How does ACT differ from CBT?

While CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts, ACT is about changing your relationship to the thoughts. You learn to observe them without letting them control your behaviour, focusing instead on values-driven action.

What exercises are used in ACT?

ACT uses mindfulness exercises, metaphors, values clarification, and committed action plans. You learn defusion techniques that help you create distance from negative thoughts, as well as exercises in being present.
