What Is ACT?
ACT is a therapy modality based on two foundations:
-
Accepting the thoughts and feelings that arise in you, rather than trying to fight against them, push them away, avoid them, or change them enables you to release them. Although you can not change the past, you can release the grip of the emotions associated with it, and live fully in the present.
-
Committing to moving forward with your life, despite difficult emotions. The goal is for you to focus on healing and building the life you want instead of being stuck in a past you cannot change.
Thus, instead of dwelling and ruminating, you can honour your past for what it is, without allowing it to rule the present. ACT also allows you to identify your core values and goals so you can align your actions with your truth. ACT promotes self-honesty, which has life-changing benefits. It can be surprising just how dishonest we can be with ourselves without even noticing we are doing it. The inevitable result is a constant struggle, one of you battling against yourself. Mindfulness plays a central role in ACT, which allows present moment attention and awareness and collaboration with your thoughts, emotions, and sensations. This enables you to align deeply with your own self, and by extension your truth. The result: flow and harmony.
It would be an honour to assist you on this journey to healing.
Is ACT Effective?
Among other conditions, ACT can be helpful in the treatment of depression, PTSD and trauma, and anxiety. By extension, it can help reduce or eliminate overwhelm and assist in overcoming the present effects of difficult past experiences. Chronic pain, which typically has an emotional component, can also be reduced.
