A 2-day introductory, experiential ACT workshop for clinicians
Over 1000 randomised control trials have clearly demonstrated ACT’s efficacy for a wide range of diagnoses and life problems. ACT helps people make space for their thoughts and feelings while moving towards the life they value. At this experiential workshop you will establish a foundational understanding of Psychological Flexibility, develop skills for using ACT and learn about Relational Frame Theory (RFT).
Over the two days you will learn how to:
- meet clients where they are and foster their willingness to change
- help clients hold their painful thoughts and emotions gently; identify and actively move towards their values; and develop awareness of the present moment and their capacity to notice it
- develop a therapeutic relationship in which support can be provided compassionately and flexibly
- formulate life struggles from an ACT perspective
- practice ACT exercises and relate the concepts back to your own life and clinical experiences
