Discovering Your Version of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Treatments

For numerous years I have actually been in therapy, however on reflection my life does not seem that different. Recently a friend told me of an ACT therapist near me acceptance and commitment treatment is a new creation of therapies for aiding people overcome a range of conditions including depression, panic attacks, anxiety or stress. The list actually is much longer. I had never become aware of ACT therapy and was not aware there was an acceptance and commitment model for dealing with depression. The most interesting thing about ACT therapy is that it is so easy to join and does not take that long to find out about. I did a google search on depression, anxiety, panic attacks and therapy and found that all you have to do is click on the words "acceptance and commitment therapy" and hundreds of sites pop up. I quickly read one called "acceptance and commitment therapy" and within minutes a whole new world opened up. The first thing I discovered was that the model does not fit me. My depression and panic attacks are so bad I would have to be an angel. If I was to commit to this model I would be the happiest person on earth, my depression and panic attacks mean that. My depression means that I can not go to work anymore, I would have to commit to it. I would need to be the kind of person that others would come to for help.
