Curious about embody ACT?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has good evidence for several chronic conditions. In turn, chronic conditions are related to how we move (or not), how we recharge our batteries, breath, and how we use and ACT with our bodies. 

To shift how we relate to our body is one of the most profound lifestyle changes. Lifestyle behavioral changes require powerful methods, high motivation, and extraordinary resilience. While psychological flexibility allows us to start thinking differently, Behavioral Plasticity adds the movement and body component to ACT, offering a systematic, structured, and ACT-consistent way to create sustainable en embodied lifestyle changes to increase vitality and health. 

These courses will allow the health professional to

  1. embody ACT in one’s own lifestyle behavioral changes,
  2. specialize in treating chronic and combined conditions such as Pain, Stress, and Trauma using the ACT principles and
  3. train peers and colleagues in the Behavioral Plasticity framework.
