ACT vs CBT (And Why I Actually Prefer Acceptance And Commitment Therapy As An Anxiety Therapist)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2023
- This video dives into the differences between ACT vs CBT in therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, also known at ACT, is the much gentler approach to creating meaningful, value-driven life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, takes the perspective of "Good thoughts" and "Bad thoughts" and guides us through changing the thoughts we wish we didn't think. As an anxiety therapist, I use both CBT and ACT everyday in my practice, but I have noticed a few patterns over the years which have led me to pull much more from ACT than I do from CBT.

Katie, I am so grateful for this video! I am a baby counselor trying to figure out what theories I resonate with, and I could not agree more with your wise words on how CBT can cause mistrust of the self and even shame (Good v. Bad thoughts). When you said ACT is more of a "gentle and compassionate" approach, this very much spoke to my soul! I'm excited to explore the ACT resources you provided. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing and I am so glad this video was helpful to you! Enjoy diving into ACT and seeing amazing results for your clients 🙏
Good Stuff Katie!!
Great video. I can only see myself usiing both. I recognize that thoughts will happen no matter what, I view them as separate from myself (as cloud bubbles or as passengers I can drop off from my "mindbus") and then add some restructured/reframed/replacement thoughts that are more helpful or accurate. I move toward valued behaviors, etc... Sometimes I'll just do one of those things depending on context and how much time I have.
thank you for sharing! I love the "mindbus" analogy and I am glad these strategies have proven to be beneficial for you🙏
Great I found your video.
Thank you for sharing.This was super helpful for me❤
I am so glad this has been beneficial to you! 🙏
Interesting and valuable video - thanks Katie!
I am so glad you have found this helpful! 🙏
Thanks - very helpful!
Thank you for sharing! I am glad this was helpful to you 🙏
I know this is an older video but was excited to stumble upon it as a Cincinnati counseling grad school (at an online program but have friends doing Xavier's program and almost went there too!). After an incredibly invalidating experience with CBT, I ended up discovering ACT and it was a huge turning point in my own therapy. I'll be seeing clients soon and my supervisor and I decided ACT would be a great framework for me to focus on. =)
Thank you for sharing! It is always great coming across other Cincinnati therapists :) Best of luck to you as you begin seeing clients!
Good topic, you spoke well. Personally I like both CBT and ACT, it’s good to have both available to show clients. I don’t preempt what I’ll use as it’s not one size fits all. I gauge what they want to achieve and work together to put what they want that helps in their toolkit.
For clients who struggle with what’s true/self doubt when practicing CBT, it’s likely their body is so use to high levels of anxiety and uncomfortable to let go of that. Takes time (but not a long time) for this to improve. Getting to a low-moderate level anxiety is good thing (as high impacts functioning), need to help people recognise not to have “all or nothing thinking” about reducing anxiety completely.
I find ACT is great to help with this.
Hope that’s of help. Your video helped my reflect on things. Thanks. Keep up your great work.
Thank you for sharing such great points! Both certainly have their place and benefits in working towards cultivating peace and freedom from high levels of anxiety.
When you practice ACT you react to negative intrusive thoughts just as thoughts, but they don't disappear, you just cope with them more easily. In CBT you reshape your irrational negative beliefs and then negative automatic thoughts which were created by these beliefs disappear. For me ACT is like a first aid kid, but CBT is a real treatment.
Thanks for sharing your experience with these modalities! The wonderful thing about there being different modalities in therapy is that they all can help in their own way and different approaches may work better for different people. I am glad you have found healing through CBT approaches 🙏
@@the.mindful_therapist I Agree with you. For me ACT is easier to implement in life than CBT. Frankly speaking CBT, especially journaling, can be quite boring and seems difficult to do, expecially when a client doesn't have much motivation, but it's very fruitful when you apply all neccesary techniques for a period of time including not only cognitive part, but also behavior experiments and exposure. I find REBT, Metacognitive therapy and CFT also very helpful. Every modality has it's own pros and cons, but they they can complement each other.
Or journalling can bring in spirals and tangential thinking.
I'm really fond of CBT, however, always had the doubts you mentioned in the video.
Are you open to being interviewed/giving advice to a fresh MSW graduate?
I'd be happy to! You can send me an email at Katie@cedarrosecounseling.org
Focus, please!
Easier would be if u said accept what u cannot change
Savage case load you were given. Nothing manageable or fair about that- the irony
Truly! I so hope a better way is found so other therapists don't get burnt out so quickly as they attempt to manage extreme caseloads (in general and especially right our of school)
