Utbildningar inom ACT

Introduktions workshop Acceptance and Comittment Therapy, 2-3/juni: kursledare JoAnne Dahl och Tobias Lundgren i Uppsala

Fortsättning workshop Acceptance and Comittment Therapy, 6-7 i Uppsala: kursledare JoAnne Dahl och Tobias Lundgren

Under introduktionsutbildningarna i ACT kommer deltagarna att ges baskunskaper inom ACT:s sex principer Values, comitted action, present moment, self as context, acceptance and defusion. Syftet är att deltagarna skall ges möjlighet att efter utbildningen kunna integrera arbetet med principerna i sitt dagliga arbete. Eftersom dagarna är upplevelsebaserade kommer deltagarna att bli ombedda att delta aktivt under dagarna utifrån egen villighet.

Fortsättningsutbildning i Acceptance and Comittment Therapy

Under introduktionen jobbade vi med de sex olika processerna man vanligen pratar om inom ACT. På fortsättningsworkshopen kommer vi att fortsätta att utveckla färdigheter och bredda repertoaren som ACT terapeut. Ta gärna med fallbeskrivningar då möjlighet till att jobba praktiskt med komplicerade fall och erfarenheter kommer att ges. Genom rollspel, egen upplevelse, demonstrationer samt teoretiska diskussioner kommer deltagarna genom denna ws fördjupa sina kunskaper och färdigheter inom ACT.

Utbildningarna ges under två dagar mellan 09:00 till 16:00, fika och material ingår.

Begränsat antal platser till 30 stycken per workshop

Workshop Description:
Meditation practice provides the context for deepening all of the core processes of ACT. Learning how to strengthen your own experience of these processes will help you in your personal life and will help you help your client. Learning how to focus in the present moment, take the perspective of the observer self, defuse from thoughts, impulses and feelings, accept experiences, and identify and persist in valued directions, are all practiced in meditation training. The aim of this meditation ACT retreat is to help you to deepen your own experience in these core processes by means of your own meditation practice and learn how meditation practice translates to being present in your relationships. More specifically, participants will learn to: focus attention in the present moment using breathing techniques, defusion from impulses by means of sitting still and observing and sitting still, training in self-as-context by means of body scan technique, and training in acceptance of experiences as thoughts, feelings and or physical sensations. Meditation practice will be combined with and tailored to each of the ACT core processes throughout the retreat. These meditation exercises will be interspersed with ACT exercises focused on building mindfulness skills in relationships.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn now to strengthen your own experience of the ACT core processes through meditation practice.
2. Learn how to focus your attention, act rather than react, and see impulses for what they are.
3. Train self as context with a body scan technique.

Target Audience: Intermediate & Advanced.
