Brighton and Hove Recovery Service

These sessions are designed as a drop in version of our closed ACT group, but the group will be more focused on the here and now and require no prior knowledge of ACT.
 

Acceptance and Commitment therapy uses both cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based strategies. It aims to help you create a rich, full and meaningful
life whilst at the same time accepting the challenges that come with it. 

Coming from a personal values-driven perspective we aim to help you to develop tools to introduce
more psychological flexibility and emotional resilience into your life. 

Weekly content is repeated in the online group.

An introduction to the philosophy & approach of AA/12-Step Fellowships.

This drop-in group aims to teach you some of the skills you can apply to your day-today life. 

These skills come from Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) which is designed to help you understand and accept your difficult feelings, learn skills to manage them and then become able to make positive changes in your life. 

‘Dialectical’ means trying to understand how two things that seem opposite could both be true. For example, accepting yourself and changing your behaviour might feel contradictory, but DBT teaches that it’s possible for you to achieve both these goals together. 

This is not group therapy, but more like a series of skills teaching sessions. There are four skill types we will cover: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and emotion regulation. 

Weekly content is repeated in the in-person group.
