Join psychologist and ACT trainer Rikke Kjelgaard as she talks to Dr. Russ Harris for cocktails and courageous conversations at this live webinar about Trauma-focused ACAT.
Dr. Russ Harris is the author of the international best-selling self-help book ‘The Happiness Trap’ and is a world-renowned trainer of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Russ Harris is the author of several books and just published:
Trauma-Focused ACT: A Practitioner’s Guide to Working with Mind, Body, and Emotion Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Trauma-focused ACT (TFACT) is neither a protocol nor a treatment for one specific disorder, such as PTSD. It is a compassion-based, exposure-centered approach to doing ACT, which is:
(a) trauma- informed: drawing upon relevant fields, such as evolutionary science, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, and inhibitory learning theory;
(b) trauma-aware: attuned to the possible role of trauma in a wide range of clinical issues; and
(c) trauma-sensitive: alert to the risks of experiential work, especially mindfulness meditation.
TFACT has three interweaving strands that apply to all trauma-related issues: living in the present, healing the past, and building the future.
