Description:
If you or your clients are feeling stuck, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can give you a bigger perspective on the dynamics of why and where the inertia is happening.
ACT is an evidence-based approach that can incorporate any other effective intervention. Acceptance processes, which include mindfulness, help clients let go of struggles with their own internal experiences with strong thoughts and feelings. Commitment processes help clients clarify and move toward their own values in the service of living a more meaningful life

Learning Objectives:
• Develop a deep understanding of the six core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients advance psychological flexibility
• Demonstrate how ACT incorporates elements of exposure therapy to reduce experiential avoidance
• Define cognitive defusion and how clients can use it to change their relationship to distressing thoughts
• Help clients clarify their values to give them direction and willingness to engage with challenges
• Practice mindfulness skills to teach clients to better understand unhelpful automatic patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting
• Integrate ACT techniques into treatments for specific disorders including depression, anxiety, trauma and personality disorders
