An Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Webinar Description: This introductory webinar will cover the underlying framework to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) using 2 models to illustrate this. Due to time limitations only a few aspects can be elaborated on. These will include values identification and defusion. Application to stammering therapy will be touched upon and there will be signposting to ways to take the learning forward. There may be a short mindfulness practice.

The session will be relevant to those who have not done previous learning about ACT. Participants who have attended other training will most likely find this information is not new to them.

Speaker: Carolyn Cheasman, is an experienced stammering specialist – she also stammers herself. She is a qualified mindfulness teacher and it was through this work that she came to ACT which is a mindfulness-informed approach. Carolyn has run many ACT for people who stammer group courses and has also delivered many trainings on ACT to SLTS.
