Learn why the very nature of human language can cause suffering and commit to living a vital and meaningful life. Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behaviour change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the situation affords, and changing or persisting in behaviour in the service of chosen values.
Workshop details:
This four day (two weekend) workshop will include the traditional two day experiential ACT workshop, focusing on applying ACT to oneself. The second weekend will focus more on skills training but will also be experiential. The key concepts of ACT will be addressed consistent with the book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change by Steven C. Hayes, Kirk D. Strosahl, and Kelly Wilson.
