Are you a CBT-trained Clinician or an ACT-head that wants to dip your toes in cognitive change? This workshop focuses on a process-based approach to CBT, from the Extended Evolutionary Meta-Model (EEMM) understanding of maladaptive and adaptive variations, selection, and retention of cognitions. Participants will learn how to make cognitive modification strategies more contextual and flexible, and practice using defusion-based techniques to support clients in acting purposefully in line with their values. Additionally, the workshop will introduce participants to RFT conceptualizations, to enhance their flexibility in applying these processes. This is an opportunity to grow your abilities, expand your understanding, and provide better outcomes for your clients. Educational Objectives: 1. Discuss when and how cognitive modification strategies can be used even within ACT with a focus on workability. 2. Practice using a number of defusion based strategies in valued directions within role play/real play. 3. Demonstrate skill and confidence in working with thinking in a CBS consistent way.
