While eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are both forms of psychotherapy and share similarities, they have distinct theoretical frameworks and treatment approaches.
EMDR may alter the intensity and rigidity of trauma-linked memory networks, while ACT enhances the individual’s capacity to relate flexibly to internal experiences and pursue valued action. Integration can therefore address both the content of distressing memories and the contextual function of ongoing experience.
