Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) aims to help individuals recognize the relationship between their thoughts and feelings. ACT recognizes that it is not thoughts alone that are unhelpful, but the interpretations of these thoughts. Acceptance and commitment therapy does not expect an individual to change or get rid of painful internal experiences.

How Does ACT Work?

ACT is not focused on challenging whether a negative thought is true. Instead, ACT helps individuals consider whether these thoughts help them move toward a life they want to live. ACT offers a practical and compassionate approach that helps clients feel heard while also empowering them to feel that there is something they can do. If looking for psychotherapy practices near me in Whitby that provide ACT, we can help.
