Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Embracing Change, Living with Purpose

Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to embrace life's challenges and live in alignment with their values. Developed by Dr. Steven C. Hayes, ACT combines mindfulness techniques with cognitive behavioral strategies to help individuals develop psychological flexibility and create meaningful, fulfilling lives.

How Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Works

ACT focuses on six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, present moment awareness, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. Through mindfulness exercises, experiential activities, and cognitive restructuring techniques, individuals learn to cultivate acceptance of their thoughts and emotions, develop greater self-awareness, and clarify their values and priorities. By fostering psychological flexibility, ACT helps individuals overcome barriers to change and take committed action towards their goals.
