Our clinical psychologists at Angus Munro Psychology offers expert Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in Sydney for those who are struggling to accept and come to terms with emotional trauma. If you’ve suffered emotional distress from a bereavement, accident, traumatic event or mental health issue, you can sometimes feel like doing anything to avoid facing the pain. But is this the best way of coping?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a behavioural therapy that believes that psychological suffering stems not from emotional pain itself, but from the attempted avoidance of that pain. One of the main goals of this approach is recognising that avoiding painful emotions and experiences is an impossible task. The attempts to control or avoid the pain become counterproductive as avoidance leads to restricting coping strategies, intense emotional strain, lost opportunities and a narrowing of life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy aims to help you take a step back from thoughts and beliefs. Like many psychological therapies ACT challenges you to examine your own thoughts and behaviour, opening up the perspective that thoughts and “truths” are not always the same. Thoughts are not a reflection of you or a fixed window on the future. Moreover, thoughts are not concrete and with willpower and a bit of expert guidance, they can be changed.

Processes to help you “stop the struggle” with thoughts, emotions and sensations are at the core of our ACT therapy in Sydney. This opens up space for you to tap into what is really of value in life. Accepting that the internal pain is real and unavoidable reduces mental strain and frees you from your web of avoidance, giving you increased energy to actually fight the cause of your distress. By spending less time struggling with unavoidable internal experiences, more time can be spent clarifying your values and spending time doing what really matters. Rather than simply reacting to what you are experiencing, you will be free and empowered to make choices and take steps towards recovery and getting yourself back into the world.
