Doubt & Uncertainty?
Clinical Methods to Help
Clients Find Greater Freedom From Anxiety
Anxiety-based disorders are related to difficulty tolerating uncertainty and live on avoidance or compulsions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is unique among therapeutic approaches in providing skills for accepting doubt and uncertainty, as well as motivation for completing the exposures necessary for the client with anxiety to discontinue avoidance behaviors or rituals, and build a meaningful life.
