Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Live Better Series

3 Jan 2022 - 31 Dec 2025

The intention of the ACT Live Better Series is to provide life perspectives and life enhancement skills to encourage and support people in living vital and meaningful lives.

The series consists of an introduction session, Flourishing: Enhancing Psychological Flexibility and Other Core Concepts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and 17 additional video lectures that are meant to assist counselors in using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concepts when talking with patients about a variety of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief, life meaning, and healthy caring relationships.

Students will complete the introduction session in order to gain access to the additional 17 video lectures. The introduction session, Flourishing: Enhancing Psychological Flexibility and Other Core Concepts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, will earn the student a 2 CEU certificate upon completion. It will also open access to the additional 17 video lectures, which can be taken in any order, for a 1 CEU certificate. The student can complete as many, or as few, of the lectures as desired. The certificates will be awarded upon completion of each lecture.

Flourishing: Enhancing Psychological Flexibility and Other Core Concepts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Psychological flexibility is the ability to feel and think with openness, to attend voluntarily to your experience of the present moment, and move your life in directions that are important to you, building habits that allow you to live life in accordance with your values and aspirations. It’s about learning not to turn away from what is painful, instead turning toward your suffering in order to live a life full of meaning and purpose. In this webinar, Dr. Steven Hayes will share tools you can use from his book, “A Liberated Mind: How to Pivot Toward What Matters. The proven plan to overcome negative thoughts and feelings, turn pain into purpose, and build a meaningful life.”

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe how psychological flexibility can improve one’s quality of life.
2. Describe the ACT concept of “Acceptance – learning from pain”
3. Identify one way you can use either Dr. Russ Harris’s list of values or the”Quality of Life Inventory” to help clients identify what’s truly important to them.
4. Identify Dr Frankl’s three ways of experiencing meaning.
