Publisher's Synopsis
Beyond language, psychological flexibility. What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?
Learn how to cope when negative feelings or even panic attacks set in and learn long-term strategies to not just cope with these unwelcome and intrusive conditions but also how to fight and beat them PERMANENTLY.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their issues and hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives, and how they feel about it.
Acceptance and commitment therapy is a new, modern effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues.
Acceptance and commitment therapy helps you identify and challenge unwanted, unhelpful thoughts.
Acceptance and commitment therapy teaches us that thinking negatively is a bad habit that, like any other habit, can be beaten.
