Steven Hayes, PhD, founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), will guide you through the core processes and principles used in this evidence-based approach.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) full-heartedly embraces a strange contradiction: We want to help our clients change, and yet have you noticed that the most powerful change often involves the simple act of acceptance of who we are! Unlike CBT which focuses on helping a client modify irrational or unhelpful thoughts, the underlying philosophy of ACT is that trying to change or fix ourselves often exacerbates our symptoms.
