This 2-day Intermediate Skills Training workshop is designed for those who have completed our 3-4 day experiential Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but is also open to those who have done such training elsewhere.
Jason Luoma (2009) has highlighted that one-shot Continuing Professional Development (CPD) workshops do not normally create lasting behaviour change in therapists. We therefore need further training to enable therapists to develop competency in ACT. This training has been designed to help facilitate this process.
This training will enable new ACT therapists to deepen their ACT expertise and to gain confidence in their ability to remain ACT-consistent. The training is also designed to give students practice in applying ACT to a range of situations. During the course students will devise case formulations, and then implement them with feedback from the trainer.
The workshop will include an experiential component. This means that participants will be asked to work with some of their own psychological material, as this is considered a necessary component of becoming a competent ACT therapist. Understanding one’s own tendencies to avoid difficult psychological experiences will be used to illuminate the way your material interacts with your clients’.
Places on the course are limited to 16 so that all students have the opportunity for individual feedback.
The follow up to this course is join our remotely run supervision group that is done through a multimedia portal online (www.wiziq.com)
