I don't like CBT, to be honest. If you're interested in not feeling 'negative' feelings (only the 'positive' ones), you'll be fighting an impossible fight. Try to not think of a pink elephant - now you're constantly checking to see if you're thinking of a pink elephant & judging yourself for your brain working just like it does. ACT helps us learn how to live with thoughts & feelings rather than to attempt to get rid of thoughts & feelings, and as a human with normal brain behaviors, that makes a lot more sense to me.

It's human to end up fighting with or checked out from life from time to time - however, when that way of responding to life becomes the default, you'll start to notice the impact. Once you've reached that point, you've likely tried a lot of other ways to shake off that habit of overwhelm, high-alert worry, disappointment or pissed-off more often than not. But hey, you found your way here, and I'm glad you did. Therapy can be one way to start living your more engaged and empowered life, on your terms.
