ACT made simple
General information:
About this workshop
The ACT Made Simple workshop is very experiential, and useful for both therapists and coaches. Russ likes to call it ‘ACT Made Simple‘ – because it covers so much material in such a short space of time. Each workshop is a ‘jargon-free zone’ guided by three core values: simplicity, clarity, and accessibility.
(There’s also a big emphasis on having fun).
You will experience a wide variety of ACT exercises, and you will be encouraged to work with your own personal issues. You will be lead through these exercises in the same way as you would instruct them to your clients.
You will also receive extensive support materials (more so than in any other ACT training around the world) including a free copy of Russ’s ACT-based self-help book The Happiness Trap (This will be an eBook), an album of professionally-recorded mp3s of key mindfulness skills, and a 3-months-long follow up e-course.
