The core processes of ACT
The goal of ACT is not to suppress symptoms but to build psychological flexibility: the capacity to move towards what you value even while difficult feelings are present. If you are looking for an approach that examines the content of thoughts directly, see our CBT page.
Acceptance
Making room for difficult emotions rather than suppressing them returns the energy the struggle consumes.
Cognitive Defusion
Learning to see a thought as something the mind produces rather than as absolute truth.
The Present Moment
Mindfulness practice brings attention back from the pull of past and future to the here and now.
Values and Committed Action
We clarify what matters to you and plan small, sustainable steps in that direction.
