Has anyone had any experience with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy? (ACT, said as "act".) It's a mindfulness-based psychotherapy developed in the 1990s by the behaviorist Steve Hayes and others. I just read the book ("Acceptance and Commitment Therapy", 1999). It's a different approach. Not insight-oriented, but not CBT, either. They call it "experiential," as in not avoiding your inner experiences like thoughts & feelings.
There's a web site, but it's not exactly easy to get a mental toe-hold in it: http://www.acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy.com/
Has anyone actually gone to a therapist who practices ACT?
