Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based form of psychotherapy that helps individuals stay grounded in the present moment while accepting their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, ACT encourages acceptance of what cannot be changed, allowing people to move forward with greater clarity and purpose. The goal is to free up mental and emotional energy—shifting it away from resistance or avoidance and toward healing, growth, and living in alignment with personal values.
