Complimentary 1.5 CE: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

The CE event will be an introductory training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which will focus on the theory, practical skills and therapeutic position. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based clinical model and psychological treatment approach that focuses on increasing psychological flexibility, focusing on the present moment, and working on taking committed actions towards a client’s own values. ACT builds on traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through an action-orientated approach by the acceptance of emotions and thoughts instead of engaging in experiential avoidance, which increases suffering. The aim is to increase psychological flexibility, self-empowerment, and create a rich and meaningful life.
