Her ability to engage participants and create an inclusive learning environment contributed significantly to the overall success of the program.

The workshop on ACT focused on introducing the concept of acceptance and the philosophical background of the concept of acceptance. Self-work exercises through understanding our own values and working on committing to change helped better understand the techniques that we would apply on patients in therapy. The session breakdown, techniques used, indications and contraindications of the therapy were explained. The interactive sessions helped them gain a better understanding of the concept of acceptance and commitment. Case studies were discussed as a means to deepen our understanding of the process of therapy.
