Acceptance and commitment therapy: how does it work?
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps patients accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. Unlike traditional cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing negative thoughts, ACT promotes psychological flexibility – the ability to stay in the present moment and make choices that align with one's values. Revered clinical psychologist Dr Steven Mahan-Taylor explains everything you need to know about this type of therapy.
