Deep Questions with Cal Newport
Embrace Thoughts, Pursue Values
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on addressing backward-thinking ruminations often associated with depression by challenging negative thoughts and reframing them. In contrast, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), representative of third wave psychotherapy, encourages individuals to acknowledge negative thoughts without resistance while remaining committed to value-driven behavior.
