Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

encourage you to accept your thoughts and feelings rather than allow them to control you. It fosters psychological flexibility, emphasizing the ability to adapt in thoughts, emotions, and actions. This involves maintaining focus on meaningful aspects and modifying responses based on various situations. By cultivating this flexibility, you can recognize emotions aligned with your values, even in challenging times, empowering you to embrace the life you desire.

It’s easy to suppress or eliminate thoughts or feelings as you wrestle through your internal struggles. At Berg Counselling, I use ACT to help individuals embrace their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Internal struggles can cloud anyone’s view and keep them from reaching their goals.

If You’ve Suffered With Internal Struggles, You May Experience Unexplained Feelings:

  • Hopelessness

  • Doubt

  • Lack of confidence

  • Isolation

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Hypervigilance

  • Intrusive thoughts or memories

Everyone handles the effects of their internal struggles differently, regardless of how it shows up. Its lingering effects don’t have to keep you from living the life you want.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help you rediscover commitment to your values and provide emotional freedom.

If you’re afraid of facing lingering problems head-on, you are not alone. Many people feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty of facing their pain and processing their thoughts and feelings. Therapy can provide a supportive environment and the psychological flexibility for you to work through various types of concerns, including:

  • Grief

  • Infidelity

  • Social anxiety

  • Depression

  • Addiction

  • Work stress

  • Childhood trauma

You don’t have to live in the past anymore. Talking with a therapist can empower you to take control of your life.
