ACT Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): embrance change and live with purpose
Acceptance and Commitent Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to actions that align with their values. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on eliminating negative feelings, ACT encourages embracing discomfort and developing psychological flexibility.
