What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them. Instead of fighting against distress, ACT helps you acknowledge it while committing to actions that align with your values.
