Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Foundation and Overview - The Psychology of Doing What Matters — Even When Life Hurts

New Zealand · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

This talk introduces the foundations of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for practitioners who work with clients experiencing grief and loss, supporting them to develop psychological depth and flexibility. Combining theory, clinical application, and lived insight, Dr Ute Liersch guides you through the central frameworks of ACT, including theoretical foundations and constructs as well as emotional, behavioural and cognitive processes. Insights into how language creates both meaning and suffering, how inflexibility shows up in clinical practice, and how ACT differs from CBT are explored.

• Describe the foundations of ACT and its connection to RFT
• Identify the six key processes of psychological inflexibility and flexibility
