The ACT Made Simple workshop is higly experiential, and useful for therapists, counsellors, coaches and all health practitioners. Russ calls it ‘ACT Made Simple‘ – because it covers a lot of material in a short space of time in a ‘hands-on’ practical manner. In other words, this is not one of those trainings that’s heavy on scientific theory! It’s a ‘jargon-free zone’ guided by three core values: simplicity, clarity, and practicality. (And 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 compassionately and respectfully guided through these exercises in the same way as you would do them with your clients, You will also receive extensive support materials, including eBooks on key topics, professionally-recorded audios (that you’re welcome to share with clients), handouts and worksheets, and so much more! This workshop is worth 14 specialised CPD hours
