Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

It works by teaching people how to accept their thoughts and feelings instead of trying to fight them and to commit to doing what they believe is important even when they feel uncomfortable. It works by helping people to become more aware of their thoughts and feelings and to learn how to manage them in a way that is helpful.
