CFT and ACT – What’s the difference?

Compassion-focused therapy (CFT)information handouts introductory

While compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are both forms of psychotherapy and share similarities, they have distinct theoretical frameworks and treatment approaches.

It’s important to understand that CFT and ACT are not mutually exclusive, and therapists may integrate elements of both approaches based on the individual’s needs and the nature of the presenting problems.
