What is acceptance and commitment therapy?
Informed by the Buddhist philosophy, Third-wave models of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy maintain the view that emotional suffering occurs when creative means of surviving difficult life events become repeated and fixed. Therefore no longer being of service to the client. With ACT at Psymplicity, a psychotherapist works with you to identify and validate the impact of significant life events, and how inhibiting or destructive coping mechanisms have helped you to endure adverse experiences.
Within a warm, welcoming and transparent therapeutic relationship, Third-wave approaches value mindfulness, acceptance and compassion to improve flexibility in order to encourage change, wellbeing and increased independence. Depending on how you view your struggles, needs and hopes for the therapeutic process, the therapist can work from one particular approach or utilise beneficial aspects from several different therapeutic approaches.
The goal of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is for you to explore what is most important in various areas of your life. This sets the groundwork and navigates the course of therapy. Your psychotherapist may use record sheets, metaphors and experiential exercises to assist the development of insight into problematic behavioural patterns and encourage you to experience inhibiting and unwanted internal experiences willingly. This will prove to be essential for providing you with opportunities to take valued action and allow you to live a more fulfilling life.

What is acceptance and commitment therapy like?
When you run away from a problem, whether you realise it or not, you are also distancing yourself further and further from a solution. Acceptance and commitment therapy bridges the gap between the problem and the solution by combining mindfulness and self-acceptance. ACT is a form of behavioural therapy that provides you with a safe and supportive environment to face troubling aspects of your life head on, rather than avoiding situations where these types of thoughts and feelings are nurtured.
During your ACT therapy sessions, your specialist psychotherapist will guide you through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, as well as behavioural and commitment exercises that promote psychological flexibility. By opening your mind and showing you that you don’t have to feel guilty, ashamed or run away from your problems altogether — psychological flexibility opens the door for you to experience a greater sense of meaningfulness and fulfillment in your everyday life.
This new-found positivity, self-acceptance and a feeling of being more present in the moment will transfer to many different areas of your life and improve relationships, your career trajectory, outlook on life and generally provide you with the blueprint to be a healthier, happier and more productive person.
