ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT shares its roots with CBT and the two approaches have much overlap.
However, ACT focuses more on learning how to accept our negative experiences without trying to get rid of them, while promoting taking effective action guided by our deepest values while being fully present and engaged.
Mindfulness training, values exercises, and cognitive defusion are common techniques drawn from this approach incorporated in sessions.
