While every circumstance and person are unique, ACT is built on 6 core tenets that help you move forward towards your most vital, blissful life. At Bliss, we believe your counselling should be as unique as you are. We’ll begin by getting you matched with the perfect therapist for you. Then, you’ll get started with your initial session. During this appointment (virtual or in-person, your pick), you’ll connect with your therapist and share your current situation, what you’re currently struggling with and where you’d like to grow. From here, you and your therapist will begin working through the tenets of ACT. You’ll work together to embrace and accept what you’re feeling, identify your unique set of values and create a plan to commit your actions and behaviors towards those values. After each session, you’ll leave feeling more connected and loving toward yourself and with a growing confidence that your behavior and choices reflect who you are deep down.
