ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT) AT EVER BRAVE
WHAT IS ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY?
Foundations of ACT
The foundation of ACT is built on the inspiring premise that true freedom comes from embracing life as it is, rather than constantly battling or avoiding our thoughts and feelings. ACT teaches that through acceptance, we can rise above the limitations imposed by fear and doubt. It invites individuals to connect deeply with their core values and harness these values as a powerful compass, guiding their actions and choices. This approach encourages a life of authentic purpose and meaning, empowering people to live with greater vitality and resilience.
HOW ACT WORKS
Core Processes of ACT
ACT involves six interrelated core processes, each contributing to its psychological impact:
Cognitive Defusion:Allows individuals to liberate themselves from the grip of their thoughts, seeing them not as truths but as fleeting mental events, thereby reclaiming their ability to live boldly and authentically.
Acceptance: Acceptance is the empowering choice to acknowledge our emotions and thoughts without judgment, creating the freedom to live a life aligned with our true values and aspirations, no matter the challenges we face.
Contact with the Present Moment: Contacting the present moment is the transformative act of grounding ourselves in the here and now, unlocking the potential of the present moment.
Self as Context: Self as Context is the realization that we are not defined by our thoughts and emotions, but instead, they provide us with a steady vantage point from which we can observe our experiences and make a choice on how to respond.
Values: Values are the guiding stars that illuminate our path, inspiring us to make meaningful choices and pursue a life of purpose and fulfillment despite any challenges.
Committed Action:Committed action is the courageous step of aligning our behaviors with what matters most, then turning our intentions into purposeful actions.
