Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT helps you handle tough thoughts and feelings by accepting them, understanding them, and living in line with your values. It's about making peace with your mind and taking meaningful steps forward in your life. ACT also emphasizes being more compassionate with yourself and improving your relationships with others through understanding their perspectives as well. There is a trauma-focused approach in ACT that can be beneficial for individuals with post traumatic stress, either from one isolated incident or a very complex pattern of many traumas over the course of a lifetime.
