In terms of the materials below that you need: We will have extra copies in case you cannot print out key things, but the core competency form will be used in the Luoma / Lejeune workshop on Sunday.
Robyn Walser has provided the PowerPoint she will be using during the Saturday training that may be used as handouts but Robyn isnot requiring that.
As noted above, she will focus on the therapeutic relationship, but also a bit on implementation (i.e., role plays showing flexible use of the processes). The first part of the day will cover three processes and an exercise or two using role play.
The second part of the day will cover three processes and an exercise or two.
The client rating forms inside the "ACT Precis Handout" will be useful in Day 2 in the evening and the shorter list of methods might also be useful in the main part of Day 2.
The others things are just for your use -- not need to print them out.
