Title: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Post by: alovelycreature on November 14, 2014, 10:38:59 PM
Hey all, I know there are some therapies listed on here, but I thought I would share Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have found the techniques very helpful. The main one is understanding our through process, language, and taking power away from thoughts. I went to a ACT lecture last week and I learned that 80-90% of our thoughts (with any mental illness or not) are negative!

Here's the website: http://contextualscience.org/about_act

Also, they have tons of book suggestions. They even have suggestions of books that others have recommended to me on here!
