ACT/CBT: Tinted Sunglasses & Reflection

This session is rooted in Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evolution of traditional CBT that integrates mindfulness and psychological flexibility. Within this framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps us unhook from unhelpful thought patterns and engage more fully with life. The Tinted Sunglasses metaphor reveals how our thoughts act as filters that color our perception of the world. Whether they brighten our day or cast a shadow. Through reflection and practice, we explore how acknowledging these lenses—without letting them define us—can cultivate greater freedom. The session concludes with a grounding affirmation, empowering us to step forward with clarity and intention.
