Acceptance and Commitment Therapy vs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on acknowledging and accepting thoughts rather than fighting them, allowing individuals to move forward with their activities. It helps in managing social anxiety by recognizing and appreciating the presence of anxious thoughts without giving them power. People often wrongly evaluate themselves, assuming that others do not like them when they may not even care or may actually like them, highlighting the importance of addressing faulty self-evaluation in therapy.
