8 CE hours. Weekly sessions on Tuesdays, 5–7 p.m. Eastern Time.
Learn how ACT can unlock new possibilities for lasting positive change for depressed clients.
Over the course of four weeks, author and master trainer Robyn D. Walser, PhD, will teach you to pinpoint the function of depression-related behavior as well as opportunities to constructively explore both positive and negative aspects of experience in a way that promotes psychological flexibility. You’ll also learn how to create tailor-made, at times unconventional, ACT interventions to help clients experiencing depression embrace change and reengage in life.
As a result, you’ll be better equipped to:
Foster energetic, collaborative, and active sessions, which will carry over into the client’s life
Speak to each individual’s deep-seated fear and needs by understanding how depression and related behaviors function
Break through fused stories related to the depression as well as rigid identities that become entangled with those stories
Build momentum and fuel action even when a client is severely unmotivated or feels that “nothing matters”
Broaden the client’s flexibility and sense of possibility in part by cultivating curiosity about experiences beyond suffering
Help clients access a sense of meaning, even when positive feelings are elusive
You’ll leave this training with a renewed sense of direction in your interactions with depressed clients and armed with tools for helping clients explore meaningful paths forward, even in the face of pain.
