Through over ten thousand hours of using ACT with PTSD\, Drs. Polk and Hambright have developed ACT as a client-friendly way of getting at some of the components of Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for PTSD.
Most clients with PTSD will not do PE\, no matter how much you sell them on the idea. (We tried hard to sell PE.)
However\, essentially every PTSD client will engage in this ACT approach to exposure.
The core of the protocol is done across four-sessions. Then additional follow up sessions are done as needed.
1. Noticing the difference between 5-Senses and Mental Experiencing.

Inhoud\: Deze cursus is bedoeld als verdieping voor cursisten die eerder een vervolgcursus ACT gedaan hebben. De cursus gaat in op de processen van experiëntiële vermijding en fusie (vuile pijn) als belangrijke barrieres voor verandering van de kant van de cliënt\, maar zeker ook van de kant van de therapeut. Er wordt uitgebreid stilgestaan bij het maken van casusconceptualisaties en het leren scoren van de zes kernprocessen zoals zij zich hier-en-nu in de therapeutische relatie voordoen\, aan de hand van de scoringsschalen uit ‘mindfulness for two’ (Wilson\, 2008).
