When painful thoughts and emotions arise, they can make us feel paralyzed and helpless. We think about a bad experience and feel the same agony again! We worry about the future and feel anxious about imaginary events! We want to get rid of those feelings and thoughts, but it's like trying to plug a high pressure leak and the water finds the weakest spot to burst out again! What else can we do? We can accept feelings with compassion because they show us what we find most important. We can observe thoughts and CHOOSE the ones to act on. We can increase our mental flexibility, so we are not trapped in misery inside our own minds.
Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) uses mindfulness practice and values clarification to help disentangle from unhelpful thoughts and make space for ALL of your feelings. No matter what arises in the mind, when we commit to acting from values, we free ourselves to live the life we choose.
ACT requires a commitment to changing what you DO, based on what is truly meaningful to you. I am looking for clients who are ready to engage with life and experience the beauty it has to offer to those who are willing to face their pain and move beyond it, to make choices that will bring greater joy and fulfillment to their lives.
