“The reason mindfulness skills work so well in depression is that they help you create a space between you and your thoughts and impulses. This allows you to pick approach behaviors instead of avoidance behaviors.”

“In ACT, we view depression not as a problem to be solved but as an important signal that something isn’t working quite right, that your life is out of balance in some important way We want to use the information contained in your depression to help you create a new life plan that doesn’t involve suppressing how you feel or avoiding important life situations that can determine your overall quality of life. In ACT, we believe that controlling your emotions, avoiding the situations that produce them, is the problem, not the solution.”
