Introduction of Mindfulness through ACT Matrix
Participants will be introduced to mindfulness (a.k.a. present-moment awareness) as it is utilized in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), specifically using the ACT Matrix conceptualization. Participants will be able to describe and teach their clients how to practice mindfulness by differentiating between direct and indirect experience, using non-judgmental awareness, practice several variations of mindfulness exercises, and be provided additional resources from ACT on mindfulness.
