Positive Results with ACT therapy

My anxiety issues are getting better by using "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy- ACT".

Ever since I grasp the understanding of ACT and began to practice the concepts, I feel better. The basic idea is that obsession with anxiety leads to more anxiety so if you accept it and replace it with commitments to healthy ACTions and behavior, it goes away. I was trying too hard before and this provided a new approach. I had to turn off the struggle switch

Your results may vary but it's something to consider. There are books, audio books , videos websites and clinical therapist that teach this technique. Google it. This video provides a good explanation
