Improve the way you do Creative Hopelessness
Many ACT Practitioners think creative hopelessness is about getting people to understand that avoidance doesn’t work. It isn’t. It is about shaping behaviour.
We create contexts where people connect with the discomfort of staying the same to help them choose to do something new.
Get a clear approach for engaging people in behaviour change.
Learn to do creative hopelessness interventions experientially.
Respond to in-session behaviours more effectively.

Does any of this sound like you?
- You are a mental health professional using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people.
- You have some basic ACT knowledge and skills.
- You can feel stuck when clients hold on to goals about getting rid of feelings.
If you answered yes, then this workshop is for you.

Learn to spot function
