This is a series of 6 weekly, 2- hour sessions that will cover the 6 core ACT Processes, morning and evening. The first session will begin on Wednesday 10th September and will finish on Wednesday 22 October. You will get to practice what it is like to do ACT and be a client.
The group will be small, no more than 10 participants and you will be guided by an experienced ACT practitioner, Mary Sawyer. Each session is experiential in nature and you will require a fundamental understanding of ACT theory, have done extensive reading or have been to an introductory workshop.

This is a practical workshop facilitated by Jason Luoma, Ph.D., and Chad Drake, Ph.D., in Portland, Oregon. It will be focused on helping therapists integrate mindfulness and acceptance processes into their practices. The workshop includes watching video of ACT sessions focused on these processes, case conceptualization, and opportunities for practice. This workshop goes beyond teaching clients how to meditate, but focuses on how to weave these ways of being into each moment of your therapy practice. Visit this site to register.
