About the Lecture: 

One of the richest aspects of ACT is its exploration of the process known as "self-as-context." As we apply ACT processes like defusion, acceptance, and contact with the present moment, we can adopt a new perspective on "selfing." This session will explain several ACT terms related to self-as-context, including attachment to conceptualized self (also known as "self-as-content"), our ongoing and changing sense of self-awareness ("self-as-process"), and the flexible perspective-taking that informs a spiritual or "transcendent" dimension of self.

Here's what you can expect from this engaging session:

• An exploration of the self-as-context process and how it pertains to ACT interventions

• A brief introduction to "selfing," including elements of relational frame theory (RFT) and deictic framing (e.g., I/You, Here/There, Now/Then)

• A consideration of perspective-taking and its implications for compassion, spirituality, and other key dimensions of human life and experience

Don't miss this chance to gain valuable insights and tools of self as context! We look forward to having you with us for this exciting lecture. Feel free to invite friends and colleagues who might also benefit from this enriching experience.
