SUMMARY:Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: A Deep Dive into Values and Beliefs
DESCRIPTION:Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: A Deep Dive into Values and Beliefs\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Friday\, November 20th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | $190.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness strategies with the elicitation of core values. The goal of ACT is to help clients create a workable relationship with their thoughts and feelings\, while living a life filled with meaning and purpose. \nIn this interactive and experiential continuing education workshop\, you’ll learn the philosophy behind ACT. The focus\, however\, will be on the “values” aspect of this therapeutic modality. We will take an in-depth look into the connection between personal values and creating a life worth living. We will also explore how our belief system can influence what we value. This is an important component of the training\, because if our clients understand their limiting beliefs\, they will avoid sabotaging themselves in their quest for a meaningful life. \nDuring the training\, you’ll learn exactly how to help clients discover what they value in the world and how they can begin aligning their lives with what is truly important to them. To that end\, you’ll be practicing a wide variety of practical skills that you can immediately begin using with clients. \nSince this will be a hands-on experience\, please have a notebook handy. We will also use the presenter’s workbook\, “A Life of Meaning and Purpose: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Guided Journal for Exploring Beliefs and Connecting with Values\,” which will be provided to each participant. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nUnderstand the role of value identification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\nUnderstand how limiting beliefs influence the elicitation and execution of value-directed behavior\nIdentify the components of core values\, in terms of their definition and use in ACT\nDiscuss how to best assist clients in accessing core values\nLearn a variety of ways to teach clients how to elicit core values\nPractice ways to explore core values\nExplore the relationship between core values and ACT’s strategy of “committed action”\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
