ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It's a type of psychotherapy that falls under the broader category of cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT). ACT was developed by psychologist Steven C. Hayes in the 1980s and is grounded in the principles of functional contextualism and behaviour analysis.
ACT focuses on helping individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than attempting to eliminate or control them. It emphasizes the idea that struggling against or trying to avoid uncomfortable emotions can often lead to more suffering. Instead, ACT encourages people to be present in the moment and to develop psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Defusion
This involves distancing oneself from distressing thoughts and recognizing that thoughts are not facts. It helps individuals detach from their thoughts and have a more flexible relationship with them.
Acceptence
This involves being open to experiencing one's emotions, thoughts, and sensations without judgment or avoidance. It's about acknowledging what is present without trying to change it.
Present Moment Awareness
This emphasizes being fully engaged and present in the current moment rather than getting caught up in worries about the past or the future.
Self-as Context
This is the idea that people have a transcendent self that observes their experiences. It encourages individuals to identify with this observing self rather than being consumed by their thoughts and emotions.
Values Clarification
This process involves identifying what is truly important and meaningful to an individual. It helps them align their actions with their core values.
Real-time results
This refers to setting goals and taking actions that are in line with one's values, even in the face of discomfort or challenging emotions.
