Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, that sense of accomplishment never comes? It's as if the bar for success keeps getting pushed higher and higher, leaving you never feeling good enough. You’re always anxious that those around you will realize that you have no idea what you are doing and that you’re unfit for the job. You constantly doubt yourself, replay mistakes over and over in your head, and search for validation from others. You are ready to start feeling good about yourself, to say no to others, and stop shying away from risks. You shouldn’t have to go through life feeling bad about yourself. It is time to flourish.

Support can help us to examine our paths and patterns and to regain the confidence that we can build the life we want.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
