ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

is a therapeutic approach that supports individuals in exploring their relationship with thoughts and emotions.

Rather than trying to change or avoid feelings, clients learn to acknowledge and accept them with openness and curiosity.

The process emphasizes identifying core values and making meaningful behavior changes that align with those values, fostering psychological flexibility and personal growth.
