About

The frame of Acceptance and Commitment Training as a structure in therapy is helpful in bringing you into the present moment to better understand what is going on in your life and developing an awareness of your core values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is helpful for noticing your distortions, reframing your thoughts, developing self-talk, and increasing your problem-solving skills. This part of therapy requires journaling to increase self-reflection and develop a sense of agency in your life. Also, developing assertive communication skills and boundaries with yourself and those around you to improve your quality of life.

Developing insight into how to be congruent and authentic decreases anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable feelings which is important for all identities.
