Acceptance and Commitment therapy is based on the premise that our thoughts, emotions and sensations do not need to rule our lives. Instead we can learn to base our actions on living a dignified human life based on what is most important to us. This newer treatment has shown promise with anxiety disorders, chronic pain, psychosis and schizophrenia as well as substance abuse, depression and medical illness management.
