From a psychological flexibility perspective informed by key insights from Relational Frame Theory (RFT), inflexible “selfing” is a core feature of these issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?is well-suited to help clients to discover new and more workable ways to relate to themselves. Unfortunately, many?ACT?therapists tend to shy away from self-as-context interventions because they can seem mysterious, theoretical, or confusing. This will be an intermediate/advanced?workshop for intermediate/advanced?ACT?practitioners. The foci of this highly experiential training opportunity will be to demystify self-work in?ACT?by presenting practical, RFT-informed strategies to conceptualize issues related to the self and to invite clients to experiment with more effective ways to “self.” https://lnkd.in/ewcQUT5B
