Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that aims to enhance psychological flexibility through six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, being present, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. Rather than attempting to eliminate difficult thoughts and feelings, ACT encourages individuals to accept them while committing to behavior changes consistent with their personal values.
