This workshop will be highly experiential with a focus on helping participants practice and build skills that they can readily integrate into their work with a variety of clients. It’s designed to give participants a strong foundation in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) theory as well as practical experience with many core ACT interventions.
The workshop is ideal for beginning practitioners new to the model as well as those already practicing ACT at an intermediate level who want to refresh their understanding of the fundamental principles that inform ACT work.
Over the course of two days, participants will discuss the process of assessing psychological problems using the Psychological Flexibility model, learn and practice skills relevant to each of the 6 core psychological flexibility processes, apply ACT skills to help clients differentiate between ineffective and meaningful actions, and identify and address key indicators of psychological inflexibility.
In addition, the training will explore the ways in which language and metaphor influence behavior and can be used in therapy to help change behavior. The training will include experiential exercises, small group work and dyad work to encourage participants to practice and enhance new skills.
