- ACT Background and Training
I only discovered ACT in 2004, (although I believe I had previously been heavily influenced by the 1996 JCCP paper on emotional avoidance). I began reading furiously, and have since attended:
a 4 day work shop with Robyn Walser
2 day "advanced" workshop with Kelly Wilson
the 2005 ACT Summer Institute
4 day workshp with Gerog Eifert and John Forsyth on ACT with Anxiety
I am also involved in an ACT interest/education group that meets roughly every two weeks locally- ACT Experience
- Integrating ACT into my practice since mid 2004, and now take an ACT approach with most things.
- Types of Clients
- I see a wide range of clients and have used an ACT approach with depression, anxiety, work related issues, relationships, chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, and burnout/stress.
- Specialties
- Chronic pain, and recovery/living with accident and illness have been recent specialities. I also have an active interest in the psychological treatment of depression, and in traumatic brain injury.
