ACT on Health

ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, on health promotes recognizing and accepting difficult feelings and thoughts related to health issues, rather than avoiding them. It encourages individuals to clarify their values—what matters most to them—and commit to actions aligned with those values, despite challenges. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, ACT aims to improve quality of life by fostering psychological flexibility, helping people manage health-related stress, adhere to treatments, and make meaningful choices. It’s a compassionate approach that supports emotional well-being alongside physical health management.
