“ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) brings in a different, powerful element. Instead of fighting or trying to erase your inner chaos, ACT teaches you to unhook from unhelpful thoughts (a skill called cognitive defusion) and respond with acceptance and committed action.

ACT also centers around values-based living, deciding how you want to show up, no matter what’s going on inside.”
