Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

“Acceptance + Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach to treatment that aims to change your relationship to your own thoughts. It is based on the idea that we can gain more cognitive flexibility by creating distance between who we are and what we think, so we don’t let our thoughts push us around as much. This is achieved through mindfulness exercises, observing thoughts without engaging with them, de-fusion techniques – all done in the service to our particular values and what we believe makes a life worth living.” – Dr. Ashley Brumett, PhD :: Clinical Psychologist
