New ACT London Course Dates
27-28th March + 24-25th April 4 day course run over 2 Weekends
Location:
Megaro Hotel 23-27 Euston Road, St Pancras, London NW1 2SD,
1 min walk from Kings Cross Station
Learn why the very nature of human language can cause suffering and commit to living a vital and meaningful life. 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 behaviour change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the situation affords, and changing or persisting in behaviour in the service of chosen values.
Workshop details
The four day workshop will include the traditional two day experiential and theoretical introduction to ACT, current training in the ACT therapeutic relationships, and practical training centering on skills and application. The key concepts of ACT will be addressed consistent with the book Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An Experiential Approach to Behavior Change by Steven C. Hayes, Kirk D. Strosahl, and Kelly Wilson.
Theoretical underpinnings:
- Functional Contextualism
- Relational Frame Theory
The 'Six Core Processes' of ACT:
- Acceptance
- Cognitive Defusion
- Being Present
- Self as Context
- Values
- Committed action
Practical Skills Training:
- The use of metaphor, paradox and experiential exercises
- Case formulation
- The role (and practice) of mindfulness
- Identifying & working with obstacles, blocks, resistances
- Applications of ACT to specific presenting issues
- Outcome research

The MBCT Experiential Introduction 4 day or 8 evening/1 day course
teaches you mindfulness interventions (meditations, every-day mindfulness and mindful movement) and will introduce you to ways of identifying and dealing with difficult physical sensations, feelings and moods commonly associated with stress, anxiety, pain and depression. The experience of working in a group can enhance one's own learning as we observe how fellow human beings grow and change.Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy has been developed with the aim of reducing relapse and recurrence for those who are vulnerable to episodes of depression. This empowering way of working has also gained empirical validation. It is needed because the risk of relapse and recurrence in those who have been depressed is very high, and the amount of triggering required for each subsequent episode becomes lower each time depression recurs.
Jon-Kabat-Zinn's book, Full Catastrophe Living (1990; New York: Delacorte) describes many of the methods used in the MBCT programme and is an excellent introduction to clinical applications of mindfulness meditation training, also applicable to chronic pain, anxiety, and stress-related physical illness.
This training is in line with established MBCT trainer training standards and will require you to do meditational homework. However, there is currently no official accreditation or qualification existant for MBCT, even though the academic institutions have established particular standards (to which we adhere).
