Living with a chronic illness, anxiety, or emotional pain can make us feel stuck in a cycle of control, avoidance, or resistance. That’s where ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, comes in. Instead of trying to erase uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, ACT helps you notice them, make space for them, and still take meaningful action based on your values.
💭 So let’s talk:
Have you ever tried ACT, either in therapy or through self-help tools?
What parts of it resonated with you, or didn’t?
Did it help you cope with pain, uncertainty, or difficult emotions?
Would you recommend it to others in the community?
Whether you’ve used ACT for mental health, physical symptoms, or simply to reconnect with your values, your story might help someone else feel less alone. 🌱
