Eastwood Clinics In-Service - ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
Presenter: Julie Hamilton, LMSW, ACSW, CAAC
This is an introductory in-service for clinicians who are new to the ACT model. 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 behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means being the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior toward chosen values. Based on Relational Frame Theory, ACT illuminates the ways that language can entangle thinking and processing. Use of metaphor, paradox, and experiential exercises help the client learn how access healthy thoughts, feelings, memories, and physical sensations. Clients gain the skills to reframe and accept private events, develop greater clarity about personal values, and commit to needed behavior change.
