‘Acceptance and commitment therapy’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based therapeutic approach that focuses on helping individuals accept their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to control or avoid them. Developed by Steven Hayes, ACT combines aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy with mindfulness strategies to promote psychological flexibility and improve overall well-being.

The core components of ACT include accepting internal experiences like emotions and thoughts, committing to actions aligned with personal values, and fostering mindfulness to stay present in the moment. ACT encourages individuals to recognize and let go of unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be interfering with their quality of life.

Through processes such as cognitive defusion (distancing from thoughts), acceptance, and values-based action, ACT helps individuals build resilience, enhance emotional regulation, and live a more meaningful life. The goal is to create a rich, full life by embracing challenges and pursuing values-driven goals.
