Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) at Mind Body Well
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach used by Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well to help people develop psychological flexibility. Rather than struggling against and trying to change difficult thoughts and emotions, ACT encourages acceptance, while also focusing on values-driven actions.
ACT can be helpful for people who are experiencing anxiety, low self-worth, and food and eating concerns by teaching skills to unhook from unhelpful thoughts and increase the focus on what brings deeper meaning and purpose to life. With techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive defusion and committed action, ACT fosters resilience and self-compassion.
If you’re ready to create a life aligned with your values, our Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well are here to support you. Therapeutic approaches are determined in consultation between the Psychologist and client, after a thorough assessment has been conducted.
