If you mention you’re interested in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), the next question you’re likely to hear is, “Have you been to ACT Boot Camp®?”
Led by ACT master trainers, Drs. Steven C. Hayes, Kelly G. Wilson, and Robyn D. Walser, this essential workshop has been the foundation of ACT training for thousands of practitioners like you.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) presents a radical shift in how to understand and address human suffering, giving it tremendous appeal to mental and behavioral health professionals the world over.
Whether you’re hearing about ACT for the first time or already have some formal training, this workshop can take your skills to the next level.
At ACT Boot Camp®, you’ll learn the foundations of the psychological flexibility model, and develop a beginning set of skills in ACT. The workshop will go in-depth on the basics of the ACT model and its delivery. You will learn the ins and outs of core ACT concepts such as:
- Psychological flexibility
- The six core processes
- Skills for observing and moving the processes flexibly in session
- The workshop will give you a bottom-up understanding of the model, presenting the philosophical and theoretical roots of ACT in a clear, fun, and experiential way.
Over four intensive days, you will get hands-on practice in how to recognize psychological inflexibility in clients and learn to fluidly respond from all points on the hexaflex. You’ll see trainer demonstrations, engage in group and paired exercises to practice techniques, and get feedback from your peers.
You’ll also engage in experiential exercises to gain a personal understanding of the core processes that will allow you to embody the model in your work. This will make you a more effective ACT practitioner and can also have a powerful hand in reinvigorating your therapeutic relationships with clients.
