As the world psychology continues to advance, researchers are coming up with more and more treatment approaches regularly. One that’s beginning to take hold in the psychology world is known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT. This is a form of psychotherapy that’s unique from others, and it’s proven effective in many settings. If you’d like to learn more about acceptance and commitment therapy in Orange County, contact our team today.

Below we’re going to present detailed information regarding what you or a loved one will experience if you decide to undergo acceptance and commitment therapy in Orange County at one of our facilities. We feel that the more you know before taking this critical step, the better, and we look forward to introducing it to you on a personal level to help you or a loved one achieve the peace of mind everyone deserves.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Described

Acceptance and commitment therapy, as mentioned above, is a form of psychotherapy, and it’s known for being action-oriented in nature. Basically, ACT is a type of mindful psychotherapy in which the person undergoing treatment is helped to stay focused on the present moment as opposed to dwelling on the past. This represents the foundation of ACT.
Once that’s accomplished, the person undergoing treatment learns by way of repetition to accept his or her current thoughts and feelings without judgment. That’s because judgment is in many cases emotional, and that clouds the ability to analyze clearly. Once that’s done, the person obtaining treatment can move to the next step.
That next step in acceptance and commitment therapy involves moving forward and working through negative thoughts and the emotions tied to them. In essence, ACT helps people to “let go” of their emotional baggage and to engage themselves in healthy, critical thinking that allows them to proceed free of self-imposed burdens. Finally, those who come to us for acceptance and commitment therapy in Orange County will learn different coping mechanisms that will help them deal with problematic thoughts and emotions when they experience them after their stay with us is complete. That will help people avoid falling into the same traps that brought them to us in the first place.
Let's talk

The Goals of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Ultimately, the goal of ACT is to help someone develop a functional sense of psychological flexibility. This capability is founded on what are known as the six core ACT processes. These processes are:

  1. Acceptance – A person will be able to embrace the full range of thoughts and emotions as opposed to avoiding some or all of them.
  2. Cognitive defusion – To “defuse” something means to remove the danger, and people who go through ACT will hopefully be able to distance themselves from their thoughts and feelings to more easily change them.
  1. Present in the moment – Someone undergoing ACT will be able to be mindful in the present moment and analyze thoughts and feelings without judging or reacting to them.
  2. Proper self-context –  Someone who is able to put themselves in a proper level of self-context will understand generally where they individually fit in the grand scheme of things.
  3. Values and principles – Successful acceptance and commitment therapy will unlock a person’s ability to put values and principals in place for different situations and to stick with them.
  4. Committed action – Finally, a person who undergoes ACT will be able to take tangible steps towards making positive changes in life.

Conditions Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Treats

People who come to us for acceptance and commitment therapy in Orange County tend to experience the most success when we are dealing with the following conditions:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression
  • Psychosis
  • Chronic pain
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Once again, the bottom line with ACT is achieving the goal of mindfulness by way of psychological flexibility. If that threshold is reached, a person will be able to put powerful internal tools to use whenever he or she encounters a problematic string of thoughts or emotions.  

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Orange County

INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT 

If you or someone you love is suffering with troubling thoughts or emotions such that they are interfering with everyday life and/or interpersonal relationships, then you need to take immediate steps to correct this problem. Undergoing acceptance and commitment therapy in Orange County at one of our facilities may be exactly what you or your loved one needs.

However, before we can make that determination, this all starts with a conversation. You need to contact us to discuss your situation. We will listen to what you have to say and from there we will work with you to identify your best course of action. If that includes a stay with us, then we will work directly with your insurance company to determine coverage before you make any commitments. If another pathway is what’s best for you, then that’s what we will tell you as well. Our mission is to help people as best we can, whether that involves working with us or someone else. What’s most important for you is to take that first step towards healing. Contact us today to accomplish that first goal.
