ACT 101: An Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Have you ever felt tired as a clinician of battling people's negative thoughts and feelings? Or felt like you're not sure what you're doing is working? This 3 hour intro to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy will give some insight into how this process-based therapy takes a different approach to helping clients by not trying to change them, but rather helping them to get back in touch with their own agency through acceptance, mindfulness and a greater focus on what makes their life meaningful.

We'll cover the basics of ACT, including the six core processes and how they move clients from an...Read more inflexible orientation to life to a more psychologically flexible one. We'll also get experiential and learn some helpful interventions that can get you started in increasing your and your clients' openness, awareness, and engagement in your lives.

Jacqui is offering times for 1 HOUR VIRTUAL CONSULTATION GROUPS on Tuesday October 27th to help deepen understanding of the concepts discussed, allow for practical application of concepts to specific case examples, and address attendee’s specific clinical questions. Consultation groups will be limited to 5 participants to ensure each attendee receives time and space to address their specific clinical concerns. Full details and registration for consultation groups are available at check out.

30 or 60 minute individual ACT consultation can be scheduled after this training with Jacqui via email jacqui@wheelhousewellbeing.com.
