At JongStressVRIJ, we offer ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), an effective method that helps you better manage negative thoughts and emotions. In our sessions, you'll learn how to distance yourself from these thoughts, so you can experience more peace and well-being in your life. Discover how ACT can support you in finding inner peace and living in the here and now.
What is ACT?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on accepting negative thoughts and feelings, rather than fighting them. The goal of ACT isn't to change the content of your thoughts, but to improve your relationship with them. This allows you to focus on what's truly important to you and what you want to achieve in life.
Causes of ACT
ACT can be triggered by various factors, such as stress, trauma, anxiety, or a general sense of dissatisfaction. It can also stem from constant pressure to perform or meet expectations, both from yourself and others. These causes can lead to a vicious cycle of negative thoughts that is difficult to break.
ACT Recognition
Do you recognize yourself in thoughts like, "I'm not good enough" or "I always have to be happy"? These are signs that you might be experiencing ACT. Other indicators could include feelings of anxiety, frustration, or sadness that you can't let go of, or a sense of being stuck in your life. ACT recognizes these patterns and offers tools to break them.

The consequences of an ACT
The consequences of not using ACT properly can be profound. It can lead to impaired mental health, social isolation, and even physical complaints. People can feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and thus lose connection with themselves and others. It's important to take the symptoms of ACT seriously and seek help promptly.
Coping with ACT
Dealing with ACT requires a new approach. ACT teaches you to be kinder to yourself and your thoughts. Through mindfulness and acceptance techniques, you learn to be present in the moment and enjoy the little things in life. You discover how to free yourself from the burden of negative thoughts, so you can live according to your values and goals.
