What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a mindfulness-based, values-oriented therapeutic approach designed to help individuals accept their emotions and thoughts, commit to meaningful actions, and live in alignment with their values.

It’s not about eliminating distress but learning to coexist with it, creating a life rich in meaning and purpose.
