Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick but as much as I love ACT,there is something that angers me about it... I find it very distressing how the 'creators' of ACT suggest that CBT is an inadequate and even a harmful therapy ( as underlying CBT is the message that one needs to modify their thoughts and beliefs in order to feel better). I find this a terrifying suggestion as CBT is the main treatment offered on the NHS in the UK and so how can one trust in this offerred treatment when ACT advocates are saying it's harmful? This is really upsetting me because I feel trapped, I suffer with intense anxiety and panic and would like to at least have some faith in the CBT that I am being offered. It feels like the ACT advocates are saying that ACT is the only way, when I feel unable to implement ACT myself and there is a lack of ACT therapy offered. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
