What is ACT?

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy based on behavioural theory and relational frame theory.(Hayes, Barnes-Holmes, & Roche, 2001)

At the core of ACT is psychological flexibility which is about choosing your direction and becoming increasingly able to move toward it through your actions, even in the presence of obstacles.    Whereas other behavioural training or therapy focuses on reducing inner obstacles (unwanted thoughts, feelings or sensations) ACT endeavours to focus on valued action even in the presence of these obstacles.   This process is called valued living.  (Polk, Schoendorff, Webster, Fabian, 2016)

Valued living is living with our most important values and goals without allowing our inner thoughts and feelings to act as obstacles that prevent us from engaging in actions that move us towards what really matters.  It is about working out who or what is important and living a purposeful and meaningful life rather than being on autopilot and waiting for obstacles to disappear. (Polk, Scchoendorff, Webster, Fabian, 2016)
