Ratgeber Akzeptanz- und Commitment-Therapie (ACT)

ACT is the English word for "action" and refers to a specific form of psychotherapy, namely Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which this guide is based on. Today, ACT is not only used in the treatment of psychological issues such as anxiety or depression, but also when individuals are significantly burdened by physical ailments. ACT can also assist those who feel that their lives have seemingly lost direction and meaning. Additionally, it can support individuals who realize that their longings are painfully unfulfilled, causing their lives to feel stagnant rather than vibrant.

After an introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the guide helps you discover what a meaningful life looks like in your current situation through numerous exercises. It also shows you how to remain capable of action in the face of your problems and burdens by starting to engage in activities that matter to you. In this way, a meaningful and vibrant life often becomes possible again. The application of ACT not only improves life satisfaction but also enhances the ability to pursue what truly matters in life despite arising challenges.

Some of the exercises are also available as audio recordings. You can download and listen to these exercises after registering. Additionally, the guide contains numerous illustrations that serve to clarify the content. You can use the guide as a supplement to psychotherapy to better understand what happens in ACT, or you can work through it independently.
