What is ACT?

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy is an approach to accessing a meaningful and fulfilled life while accepting that pain is an inevitable aspect of existence.

ACT is related to the more well-known Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and focuses on accepting what aspects of life that are out of your control. Accepting that you cannot control every part of life helps you commit to actions that enrich your development.

If, for example, you’re troubled by memories of the past, ACT aims to help you accept what has happened – that way, you can reduce your physical and emotional responses towards that memory.

Is there a motto for ACT?

You could say that the motto for ACT is:

  • Accept all that is beyond your control while living in the present
  • Choose a direction of value
  • Take action

How does ACT work?

You’ll work with your therapist to explore the dominant details of your life (your relationships, leisure activities, career, etc.) while helping you determine your values (what is genuinely meaningful and vital to you).

Understanding what is truly important in your life helps to inspire and motivate positive change.

What approaches will I follow with online ACT therapy?

Mindfulness
You have complicated feelings and thoughts: through mindfulness strategies, you can learn to lessen the impact they have over your actions. Regular homework activities will help you incorporate mindfulness into your everyday life.

Resilience
Resilience is an essential aspect of ACT. We get knocked down, and we get up again. We’ll help you learn strategies that keep you on a positive trajectory.
