Looking to expand your ACT skills beyond the basics and create more impactful therapy sessions? Ever feel stuck wondering what to do next in session? Find yourself thinking too much about which process to use rather than staying present with your client? This workshop is designed for therapists who understand ACT fundamentals and want to develop greater fluidity, flexibility and depth in their practice.
This intensive workshop focuses on developing your ability to work responsively with what's happening in the moment. You'll learn to trust your clinical instincts while using functional analysis (FA) as your therapeutic compass, helping you identify workable interventions that enhance your clients' psychological flexibility.
Through a combination of demonstrations, experiential exercises, and small group work, you'll discover how to identify and respond to clients' "toward" and "away" moves in real-time. Rather than treating ACT processes as distinct components, you'll learn to weave all six core processes naturally into your sessions. The workshop emphasizes practical application through live demonstrations and role-play practice in a supportive, collaborative environment.
You'll develop proficiency in using functional analysis to guide your intervention choices and timing, learning to move fluidly between ACT processes based on moment-to-moment client needs. As you practice incorporating these principles into your existing skill set, you'll discover how functional analysis serves as the foundation for effective ACT work.
Throughout the day, you'll work with ACT more intuitively, understanding that therapeutic effectiveness comes not from selecting the "right" process, but from an awareness of context and function and - by extension - delivering interventions that increase psychological flexibility. You'll leave with greater confidence in your ability to work naturally and responsively within the ACT framework.
This workshop is ideal for mental health professionals who have a foundational understanding of ACT and some clinical experience applying it. Join us to transform your ACT practice into a flowing, natural, and powerful therapeutic approach.
