What Is Acceptance Commitment?

Acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach to psychotherapy that helps people with anxiety disorders, chronic pain, depression, and addiction. ACT centers on one important idea: you can’t control what happens to you in life, but you can control your reaction to it.

The word “acceptance” in ACT doesn’t mean to passively sit back and do nothing. It means that you acknowledge what is happening, but you don’t let it control your life. The word “commitment” means that you make a decision to act based on your values, even if it’s difficult.

In ACT, you learn to let go of your negative thoughts and feelings and focus on what is important to you. This may involve making a commitment to do something, even if it’s difficult. For example, if you have anxiety, you may make a commitment to go for a walk even when you don’t feel like it.

How Does Acceptance Commitment Therapy Work?

ACT is based on the idea that our thoughts and feelings don’t always reflect reality. For example, if you have a panic attack, your thoughts may tell you that you’re having a heart attack and that you’re going to die. But these thoughts may not be true.

In ACT, you learn to question your thoughts and feelings. You learn to accept them as just thoughts or feelings – they’re not reality. This can help you break the cycle of anxiety and worry.

ACT also teaches you to live in the present moment. When you focus on the present, you can more easily act based on your values. You don’t have to worry about what may happen in the future, and you don’t have to dwell on the past.

What Are The Acceptance Commitment Therapy Session Like?

ACT sessions involve a lot of talking, but there is also a lot of homework. You will be given exercises to do at home, and you will be asked to keep a journal.

The therapist will help you set goals for yourself, and you will work on finding ways to achieve these goals. The therapist will also ask you to think about your values. What is important to you? What do you want to achieve in life?

ACT can be a difficult therapy to learn, but it can be very helpful for people with anxiety disorders, chronic pain, depression, and addiction. It helps you to break the cycle of anxiety and worry, and it teaches you to live in the present moment.

What Can Accceptance Commitment Therapy Help With?

ACT has been shown to help people with the following conditions:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression
  • Substance use problems
  • Chronic pain
  • Coping with cancer or other serious illnesses

How Effective Acceptance Commitment Therapy Is?

ACT is effective for anxiety disorders. Studies show that it can be just as effective as medication in treating anxiety disorders, but without the side effects.

It is also helpful for depression, chronic pain, and addiction. It has not been shown to be effective for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

After years of dealing with Acceptance Commitment issues, Therapy Mantra assisted me in releasing a lot of buried emotions. I had previously received Acceptance Commitment counselling, which helped, but Therapy Mantra was able to turn me around and make me look forward to a better life.
