Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the latest generation of behavioral therapy that helps you deal with the obstacles you encounter in a flexible way, so you can continue to invest in the things that are truly important to you. The goal of ACT is not so much to reduce symptoms as it is to develop personal resilience. ACT is an active, experiential form of therapy that focuses on experiencing and practicing, placing less emphasis on “talking about it” and more on actually doing it.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy for people who continue to suffer from the effects of traumatic experiences. These can include traumatic events, such as a distressing sexual experience, a difficult childbirth, or a traffic accident, but also experiences that have affected your development, such as bullying during childhood. EMDR is a proven, effective treatment method for processing traumatic experiences that still affect you today. Through eye movements or beeps combined with recalling the traumatic event, the brain’s information processing system is stimulated to properly process this event.
