About the Course
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is known as “ACT” not the letters A-C-T. ACT gets its name from its core messages which are to “accept what is out of your personal control, and commit to taking action that enriches your life” (Harris, 2009; p2). ACT helps us to do this by:
Teaching psychological skills to handle painful thoughts and feelings effectively, in such a way that they have much less impact and influence – these are known as mindfulness skills, and
Helping to clarify what is truly important and meaningful to us – that is, clarify our values – and use that knowledge to guide, inspire and motivate us to set goals and take action that enriches our life.
This group will explore the elements of ACT with a focus on building and applying skills for real life application of these practical skills.
