About the workshop: This workshop gives an introduction to and
overview of the ACT Model. Throughout the workshop experiential
learning will be woven around theoretical foundations, giving the
participant an immersive experience. Review of Evidence The six core
processes of ACT and their common target: flexible, value consistent
living Process one: acceptance versus experiential avoidance
Identifying the pervasiveness of emotion control. Learning to see
experiential willingness as an alternative to experiential control.
Making contact with willingness as a choice, not a desire.
Understanding willingness as a process, not an outcome. Process two:
undermining cognitive fusion Seeing thoughts for what they are –
thoughts-- so that those thoughts don't have to dominate the person's
life. Help people attend to thinking and experiencing as an ongoing
behaviour process, and help them move away from the literal meaning of
thoughts. Process three: getting into contact with the present
moment/mindfulness Help people discover that life is happening right
now, and to return to now from the conceptualized past or future.
Making contact with the life that is happening now, whether it
involves sorrow or happiness. Help people to notice what is happening
in relationships in the moment Process 4: distinguishing the
conceptualized self from self as context Making contact with a sense
of self that is continuous, safe, and consistent, and from which
people can observe and accept all changing experiences. Differentiate
this consistent sense of self as the context, arena, or location in
which all experience happens, from the content of experience (e.g.,
Emotions, thoughts, sensations, memories). Process five: values
Contact and clarify the values that give your life meaning Link
behaviour change to chosen values, while making room for automatic
reactions and experiences Process six: building patterns of
committed actions Develop behaviour change in the service of chosen
values, while making room for automatic reactions and experiences.
Take responsibility for patterns of action, building them into larger
and larger units to support effective value-based living. About the
