ACT and grief.

I have recently and unfortunately on a personal level experienced the effectiveness of ACT on anticipitory grief. I won't go into detail but let me just say that being an ACT therapist served me very well. As life unfolds we aren't always prepared to deal with unexpected negative circumstances. ACT gave me a foundation to anchor my emotions during this painful time. I wanted to avoid and stop the negative feelings but fortunately my ACT training directed me to acceptance and ultimately commitment to my values. The anxiety reduction was amazing.
