Acceptance

Includes 1.0 CEU

An introduction to the ACT process of Acceptance: Saying "yes" to your experience

Acceptance is not a passive resignation but an active, courageous process. It’s about being willing to fully experience the here and now, with all its complexities, discomforts, and joys.

Why Acceptance Matters

Fostering Meaningful Change

  • Increases Behavioral Options: When we’re willing to experience difficult emotions, we gain greater psychological flexibility.

  • Discriminating Reacting vs. Choosing: Acceptance helps us identify our internal experiences and differentiate when we are merely reacting to them versus when we are making a conscious choice.

  • Breaking Cycles of Unworkability: When we constantly try to avoid or fix internal experiences, we often get stuck in cycles that don’t serve us. Acceptance helps us recognize the futility of these struggles and open up to alternative ways of being.

Course Curriculum

Learning about acceptance and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is highly beneficial for behavior analysts as it provides a powerful framework for addressing internal experiences that often hinder meaningful behavior change. By understanding and applying acceptance principles, behavior analysts can help clients develop psychological flexibility, allowing them to make choices aligned with their values even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach not only broadens intervention strategies beyond direct contingency management but also enhances the clinician’s ability to navigate challenging cases with greater compassion and effectiveness, ultimately leading to more sustainable and socially significant outcomes for their clients.
