Summary:
This presentation will offer the opportunity to identify how ACT can be used to change the lives or those we work with. With ACT and Relational Frame Theory principles to inform our perspectives on the suffering we encounter each day, this presentation. We will outline process-based approaches that encourage psychological flexibility. We will also highlight the role of experiential control in keeping clients stuck in unworkable behaviors and explore interventions that undermine such control behaviors.
Learning Objectives:
- Provide a foundation for ACT principles as a way to interact with human suffering.
- Develop strategies lo undermine experiential control using RFT principles.
- Explore how to move from syndrome classification of behaviors to functional assessment.
- Help clients cultivate meaningful lives through their relationships and behaviors.
