This intensive workshop covers the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, pronounced as one word) for persons suffering from any of the major anxiety disorders. ACT is a newer third-generation behavior therapy that balances mindfulness and acceptance processes with commitment and behavior change processes.
This one-day training will introduce participants to this exciting form of therapy. The instructors will describe the ACT model and explain how it compares to and differs from traditional CBT. The instructors will review the rapidly-growing body of research on ACT and its processes. Attendees will learn to conceptualize client problems from an ACT perspective and how to apply basic ACT interventions. Attendees will be invited to participate in a variety of exercises to help experience ACT processes and to better understand their clients’ perspectives and struggles.

Her style is flexible, engaging and informative. The group meets monthly for one hour through December. The group is structured to maximize your learning of ACT and can include a number of things. We explore everything from initial implementation to using ACT with specific clients. We are flexible to meet the groups needs.

A considerable portion of the workshop is expected to be experiential. The remainder will be interspersed with introduction of concepts and theory where necessary. The format and content of the workshop will generally adhere to the design of the weekend ACT workshops conducted by Dr. Stephen Hayes, and will be largely based on the book: Steven C. Hayes, Kirk D.
