The Therapy That Helps You Make Peace With Your Thoughts

Michael Twohig has spent years studying what happens when people try to fight their thoughts — and why that battle almost always makes things worse. As a psychologist, researcher, and leading expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), he’s worked with countless people who felt trapped by their own minds, stuck in loops of overthinking, doubt, and mental exhaustion. In this conversation, he shares how ACT can completely change that dynamic, turning thoughts from something you fear into something you can live with.


Instead of focusing on erasing or “fixing” thoughts, ACT teaches you to see them for what they are and move forward anyway. Michael draws from powerful real-world examples to show how people have gone from feeling powerless against their minds to living fuller, more meaningful lives — without waiting for the perfect thought or feeling to show up first. It’s a practical, compassionate way to stop letting your mind run the show.


Although not a standalone treatment for OCD, ACT can be helpful in conjunction with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.
