Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Embrace Change and Live a Meaningful Life

Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts and emotions?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) at Old School Therapy helps you break free from these patterns and move towards a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. ACT focuses on accepting what’s out of your control and committing to actions that enrich your life.

What to Expect with ACT:

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Your journey begins with a thorough assessment to understand your unique challenges and life circumstances. We use evidence-based rating scales to get a clear picture of your symptoms and values.

2. Collaborative Goal Setting: Together, we’ll set meaningful and achievable goals that align with your core values and life aspirations. These goals will guide our therapy sessions and help you track your progress.

3. Therapy Sessions: In our sessions, we’ll focus on six core processes of ACT: acceptance, cognitive defusion, being present, self as context, values, and committed action. You’ll learn to accept difficult emotions, reduce the impact of negative thoughts, and engage fully in the present moment.

4. Acceptance and Mindfulness: We’ll teach you mindfulness techniques to help you accept your thoughts and feelings without judgment. These practices will enable you to stay present and focused on what truly matters.

5. Values Clarification: Identify and clarify your core values – the things that are most important to you. This step helps you create a roadmap for a meaningful life, guiding your actions and decisions.

6. Committed Action: We’ll work together to develop action plans that are aligned with your values. You’ll commit to taking practical steps towards your goals, even in the face of challenges.

7. Ongoing Support: Throughout your therapy, we’ll regularly monitor your progress and adjust our approach as needed to ensure you’re moving towards a more fulfilling life. We’re committed to supporting you every step of the way.

The Journey to Acceptance and Commitment: ACT is about more than just symptom relief; it’s about embracing your thoughts and feelings, living in alignment with your values, and taking meaningful actions. At Old School Therapy, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve a rich and meaningful life through evidence-based care and compassionate support.
