A 2-day introductory, experiential ACT workshop for clinicians.
About this Event

Growing research about ACT demonstrates its efficacy for a wide range of diagnoses and life problems. It helps people accept their internal experiences 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:

  • 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 observe 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.
  • meet clients where they are and foster their willingness to change.

This workshop is fully catered with vegetarian food.
