Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach to psychotherapy that intertwines mindfulness and behavioral therapy. It encourages individuals to embrace their difficult emotions, thoughts, and experiences, rather than battling against them. The essence of ACT lies in fostering psychological flexibility—the ability to be present with whatever arises, emotionally or mentally. This practice empowers individuals to remain true to their values and pursue their goals, even in the face of challenges. By learning to accept rather than avoid, people can find greater peace and fulfillment in their lives.
