What else can I do with the matrix?
Hi there! Just a short announcement for today. Next week I have a 2-hour webinar coming up hosted by ECare Behavioral Health Institute, it’s a follow up to my previous webinar on using the ACT Matrix for intake sessions.
I’ve talked a bit before about how I tend to structure trainings, though this particular one I don’t have down to the minute. I suppose there are a few different approaches to workable training experiences, the one I’m using for this webinar is the “What the heck is the point?” method.
By that I mean I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to hone down exactly why the content I’m presenting matters, which is partly difficult because I don’t know exactly who is attending the training. All I can presume is that they are at least somewhat familiar with the matrix and have used it at least once.
So as I think about my experience with the matrix and how I get stuck today in my work with clients, I most frequently get stuck after having set up the basic matrix and initial concepts. I get stuck with thinking about how to more consistently use the matrix to help clients contact the present moment, and with how to integrate it more deeply into values clarification work so that clients can connect with what matters more often. And I get stuck with using the matrix to foster self-compassion.
So if this webinar is going to have a point, a reason for existing in the first place other than “Hey here’s this fancy title to draw you in, I’ll think of the content later,” then that reason is to demonstrate how to use the matrix as a tool for increased present moment contact. To demonstrate how it can be used to contact and clarify deeply held values. To demonstrate how it can be used to offer more compassion towards the self.
So the webinar will cover those three main things.
Is this webinar for me?
This webinar is only 2-hours long so it’s not the most in-depth training in the world. It’s geared for beginners who have some familiarity with the matrix and have used it at least once with clients and who are looking for other ways to use it.
If you are familiar with my work you’ll see a lot of familiar stuff, like my values focused matrices, and the Survival-Vital version of the matrix.
Here are the details.
