Question 1

What does ACT stand for and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Acronyms make therapy harder to compare, so it is reasonable to ask. ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It pairs acceptance, making room for difficult thoughts and feelings, with commitment, taking steps guided by your own values. A therapist can explain how they use both parts.

Question 2

What should I expect in my first ACT sessions?

Accepted Answer

The first sessions are usually about getting to know what you are dealing with and what matters to you.
