CPD event title:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Brief description of event:
A one-day practical workshop exploring some of the most exciting developments in mindfulness based therapeutic interventions. This energetic, workshop style training is great for hypnotherapists, mindfulness teachers, counsellors and life coaches and is one of the ways that they can achieve their annual continuing professional development (CPD) requirement. ACT is a mindfulness based therapy and has a strong scientific evidence base. Originally it was constructed as an approach to individual therapy work that could be targeted for certain specific issues including depression, anxiety and stress, addictions and eating disorders. The work is engaging and playful and teaches us skills to handle unwanted and painful thoughts and feelings in a way in which they have far less significance or negative affect.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn and, where appropriate, learn how to use, the primary structure and protocols of ACT, including: * Six core principles – for psychological inflexibility – an ACT model of psychopathology * Six core principles – for psychological flexibility – core therapeutic processes of ACT * Scripts and script development ideas * Templates for worksheets * Metaphors for creative interventions * A session by session approach with ACT * Guide to integration with other therapeutic approaches
Course Structure:
The style is experiential learning through presentation, discussion, demonstration and practical exercises. The structure leads through:
* Brief history of behavioural therapies leading to the ‘third wave’ of mindfulness based interventions (MBIs)
* The ‘M’ in MBIs
* The development, structure and reach of ACT
* Putting ACT into practice
* Handling difficulties
