This course is designed up to provide you with a deep understanding of the six main ACT processes: Acceptance, Contact with the Present Moment, Observing Self, Values, and Committed Action.
You will learn how to use ACT to help people deal with painful thoughts and feelings, become more psychologically flexible, and live a life that is consistent with their values through practical exercises.
