To learn more about your thought and feelings and how to accept them.

Explanation:

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies in many different ways. This kind of therapy encourages people to embrace their feelings, even the terrifying ones and teaches them how to deal with them instead of avoiding them.

People learn how to accept their thoughts and feeling and they commit to facing the problems rather than avoiding the stresses. The goal of the therapy is for people to stop feeling guilty for their feelings, learning to accept them and to face better new challenges in life.
