My heart and hope for this practice come from Isaiah 41, showing we all are in need, but God will provide, turning dust, despair, into beauty and life.

You can find that core part of yourself that will help guide you through your challenges to act with direction and intention.
Are you struggling with change in your life? You feel powerless, hopeless, fearful, or even angry. Maybe it was something out of your control like a change in your job, health, or a relationship. Maybe it was a purposeful step like coming out as your authentic self or making a career change. Either way, you're in the middle of it now and it’s scary. You've tried controlling and suppressing your thoughts and feelings but they keep coming back. You wish life could just go back to the way it was before. You wish this change came with a guidebook. If nothing else, you wish you could just figure out that next step.

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.
