Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential.

  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) training often incorporates experiential components.
  • The impact of ACT training on therapist psychological flexibility remains under-evaluated.
  • Therapist psychological flexibility is crucial for effective therapeutic practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effects of experiential phone consultation as an adjunct to ACT continuing education workshops.
  • To assess the impact on therapist psychological flexibility and burnout.
  • To determine the feasibility of phone consultation for enhancing therapist psychological flexibility.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving counselors participating in a 2-day ACT workshop.
  • Random assignment to either six 30-minute phone consultation sessions or a control group (workshop only).
  • Assessment of psychological flexibility and burnout at baseline and 3-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Therapists receiving phone consultation reported significantly higher psychological flexibility at 3-month follow-up compared to the workshop-only group.
  • Both groups showed improvements in ACT knowledge, overall burnout, and personal accomplishment, maintained over time.
  • Phone consultation demonstrated a positive effect on psychological flexibility beyond the standard workshop.

Conclusions:

  • Experiential phone consultation is a feasible and effective adjunct to ACT workshops for improving therapist psychological flexibility.
  • This method offers a practical approach to enhance core competencies in therapists learning ACT.
  • Further research can explore broader implementation and long-term effects.
