Take ACTion: Cultivating Psychological Flexibility for Both Therapist and Client

This webinar will explore how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be applied not only to help clients but also to support therapists in their own emotional well-being. By fostering psychological flexibility, therapists can recognize and address their own struggles and pain, which can lead to distress or possibly burnout.

Focusing on the relationship between mood management and the mind-body connection, sessions offer a combination of breathing, movement, postures and mindfulness. Participants will explore the physical, mental and emotional benefits of a yoga practice.
