Product Details
Acceptance and mindfulness is having a profound impact on clinical practice. Both empirically-supported and
focused on deep clinical issues, acceptance and mindfulness approaches have been shown to help clients cope
with a wide variety of clinical problems including:
* Depression
* Anxiety
* Stress
* Substance Abuse
* Psychotic Symptoms
* Trauma
Many have described ACT as the next DBT! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT) can empower your clinical work. ACT takes the view that trying to change dicult
thoughts and feelings as a means of coping can be relatively ineective. However, new, powerful acceptance
and mindfulness-based alternatives are readily available.

When combined with values—and committed action—ACT skills can quickly mobilize even some of our most
stuck clients.The intention of the workshop is to provide you with the foundation of ACT and a beginning set of
skills and experiences that will direct further development.
