It’s often hard to know what is most important. It’s harder still to hold on to that knowledge, especially in times of fear and suffering. This workshop will focus on some of the most common barriers that arise as clients begin exploring their values. Knowing how to work with these values stuck points can be a challenge even for very experienced clinicians.

Values are at the heart of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They are the “why” in any ACT-based treatment plan or intervention. While many clinicians are drawn to ACT because of its explicit emphasis on values, it can be difficult to know how to move beyond simply talking about values to knowing how to bring values alive in the therapy room. This brief workshop is designed to help clinicians deepen their values work with clients by shifting the focus from the content of values conversations to the quality of those conversations.

We are very excited to announce that we will repeat our ACT-retreat on Zanzibar in 2024. Once again Robyn and Darrah will guide you through a 4 day workshop in ACT where they will teach you how to become fluent and flexible in the model and helping you take your ACT-skills to the next level. The retreat will also have a deep focus on the therapist and how you can develop in your own life. In other words you are guaranteed to level up in ACT and in your own life.

• Are you an ACT therapist working with ADHDer's?
  
   
• Do you feel confident using your ACT skills to effectively support your clients with an ADHD brain style?
  
   
• Would you like to upskill your basic ACT skills to an intermediate level?

There is much evidence supporting the efficacy of ACT in supporting clients with and ADHD brain style.
