Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy ACT
Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy ACT
Description
Book Introduction
Trauma-Focused ACT (TF-ACT) is neither a protocol nor a treatment technique for a specific disorder like PTSD. ACT treatment is an exposure-based approach rooted in compassion and mindfulness. TF-ACT is characterized by: 1) being trauma-informed (integrating relevant fields such as evolutionary science, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, and inhibitory learning theory); 2) being trauma-aware (tailoring treatment to accommodate the potential impact of trauma on a wide range of clinical issues); and 3) being trauma-sensitive and effective (specifically, being sensitive to the potential risks inherent in experiential work like mindfulness meditation).


Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TF-ACT), a deeply integrative approach to psychotherapy that helps clients heal from trauma, offers a flexible and comprehensive model for treating all trauma-related issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addictions, depression, anxiety disorders, moral injury, chronic pain, shame, suicide, insomnia, complicated grief, attachment issues, and sexual difficulties. This book by Harris, an internationally renowned and acclaimed trainer of ACT therapy, is intended for therapists/counselors of all experience levels and includes exclusive access to a variety of freely downloadable resources, including scripts, videos, MP3s, handouts, and worksheets.
