When your world is shaken, you may find that you not only doubt others, but that you start to question your personal inner being. Feelings of uncertainty in self and others may arise. These feelings may result from the death of a loved one, a separate traumatic event or even the loss of a job. The pressure may feel insurmountable. However, with support (evidenced-based therapy) and some work, it is possible to find yourself in a space where you feel a sense of stability once again.

Ambivalence towards therapy is entirely natural, particularly for those who are not accustomed to seeking support. Recognizing the need for help can feel daunting, as it might seem to challenge the roles you've long upheld—perhaps as the family's hero, the fixer, or the helper. There might be a fear that your vulnerabilities will become apparent in reaching out, questioning the identity you've consistently portrayed. However, it is crucial to embrace a pivotal truth: showing vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but a profound act of bravery. Asking for help is a courageous step. Therapy is transformative self-discovery.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
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.
