Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has long been grounded in the psychological flexibility model, traditionally organized around the “hexaflex.” In this innovative two-day workshop, Dr. Steve Hayes will invite you to reimagine ACT as a process-based therapy rooted in the Extended Evolutionary Meta-Model (EEMM).
This approach expands ACT’s core processes—emotional, cognitive, attentional, self-related, motivational, and behavioral flexibility—while extending them into sociocultural and biophysiological domains.
You’ll explore how psychological flexibility processes connect to core human yearnings, and how to apply these concepts in-session through experiential, technical, and idiographic strategies. With a focus on practical application, you’ll gain tools to enhance your clinical work, deepen your understanding of functional contextualism, and expand your therapeutic impact within your professional scope.
