Understanding ACT

ACT operates on the principle that psychological suffering is often linked to avoidance of experiences that bring discomfort. Key components of ACT include:

• Acceptance: Encouraging openness to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them.

• Cognitive Defusion: Learning to separate oneself from unhelpful thoughts and seeing them as transient.

• Mindfulness: Promoting awareness and presence in the current moment.

• Values Clarification: Identifying core values and using them as a guide for taking purposeful action.
