This workshop utilizes the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(ACT) to help attendees contact a transcendant sense of self that can help them
move beyond limiting conceptions of self and other. This is an experiential
training workshop where therapists learn ACT methods and concepts through applying
them to themselves. The workshop will describe the ACT theory of self and lead
participants through a series of exercises which will help them to distinguish
between the content of consciousness versus consciousness itself -- what ACT
calls the self as context versus the self as content. Opportunities to discuss how this model could be applied to work
with clients will also be provided.

AUDIENCE

This workshop is intended for those with little knowledge of ACT to those with
intermediate experience. Those experienced with mindfulness might benefit from
new practices based on ACT. Some previous familiarity with ACT would likely to
helpful for this workshop, but those completely new to ACT but interested in
issues of self, intimacy, the other, mindfulness, or perspective taking may all
find something of value in this workshop.
