Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapy approach developed by Steven C. Hayes. Like CBT, this model acknowledges that negative thinking can contribute to your suffering. However, unlike CBT, this model suggests that you notice, accept, and detach from your negative thoughts and feelings, rather than try to eliminate or control them. ACT also encourages you to focus on your values – what you find important and meaningful — and to take concrete actions based on those values.
