Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Skills Training Intensive Workshop.

Presented by Mary Sawyer

This Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a behaviour-analytically-based psychotherapy approach that attempts to undermine emotional avoidance and increase the capacity for behaviour change. The workshop will initially be didactic, followed by experiential exercises where you actually get to practice some essential components of ACT and be guided on how to be a more focused clinician. Some of the learning activities will include experiential exercises that will open up to the implications of language in psychopathology and how we humans struggle to reduce our problems often caused by language. Other activities will teach you how to defuse thoughts and words, and move your clients toward how they really want to live, rather than being stuck in their old learnt behaviours.
