Rhode Island ACT

Everyone experiences anxiety.  Sometimes it protects us.  Sometimes it begins protecting us from things that were never dangerous in the first place.  ​Anxiety often becomes exhausting because we spend so much energy trying to make it disappear. Ironically, that struggle usually makes anxiety stronger.

​

ACT teaches a different approach.  Instead of fighting anxious thoughts, you learn how to notice them, create some distance from them, and move toward the life you actually want to live. Small changes in how you relate to anxiety can create surprisingly large changes in how much your life becomes guided by it.
