"D.J. changed the way I do therapy and my patients are better for it. He has a knack for making ACT very practical and user-friendly.” Rosemarie L. (London, UK)
MODULE 2: In-Session Demonstrations
In Module 2, Steven C. Hayes will narrate and guide youthrough the application of ACT in client therapy sessions. Throughout the module, you'll see Hayes and other leading ACT experts demonstrate their techniques and interventions, including: Ann Bailey-Ciarrochi, JoAnne Dahl, Rainer Sonntag, Kirk Strosahl, Robyn Walser, Rikard Wicksell, and Kelly Wilson.
FACING THE STRUGGLE Watch Steven C. Hayes use creative hopelessness, a process unique to ACT, to help a client suffering from significant social anxiety drop into his feelings and sensations and begin to more deeply engage in therapy. This segment also includes Hayes working with a young mother struggling with anxiety and depression; Ann Bailey-Ciarrochi, MA, working with a teacher with panic disorder; and JoAnne Dahl, PhD, working with a woman who suffers from chronic pain.
CONTROL AND ACCEPTANCE ACT takes on the power of unruly thoughts and unwanted feelings! See Hayes demonstrate the principle of accepting what we cannot control, while guiding his client to accept anxiety without struggle and live in accordance with personal values. He then addresses the risk of falling too quickly into “pseudo-acceptance,” and you'll learn to identify the signs of this pitfall through Ann Bailey-Ciarrochi's session with the teacher struggling with panic.
COGNITIVE DEFUSION Watch Hayes and master ACT clinician Rainer Sonntag, MD, demonstrate a variety of cognitive defusion techniques that therapists can easily integrate into practice to help their clients de-fuse and accept thoughts without struggle, enabling them to engage with life more consciously and intentionally.
MINDFULNESS, SELF, AND THE PRESENT MOMENT See mindfulness practices and techniques in the therapy room during a session with Tony, a client in recovery from addiction, who Hayes helps slow down and connect with himself — preparing him to be more immersed in therapy. You'll also watch ACT co-founder Kelly Wilson, PhD, conduct a powerful piece of clinical supervision that helps a struggling ACT therapist manage her anxiety and engage more deeply with her clients.
VALUES AND ACTION Watch Hayes guide clients to connect with deeply-held values, uncover the link to emotional pain, and create the groundwork for meaningful goals. In an impressive session with a depressed young mother, master ACT therapist Rainer Sonntag, MD, helps her define values as a parent and set goals for herself.
PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY Tie together all the components of the ACT model for use in a variety of contexts by therapists of every orientation. You'll see multiple demonstrations by ACT therapists and master clinicians including Hayes, Robyn Walser, PhD, and ACT co-founder Kirk Strosahl, PhD, as they integrate ACT processes into actual treatment scenarios with clients.
