Free Acceptance Training Webinar
Avoiding the fatal Second Arrow: Acceptance.
This recording is taken from the free 'Avoiding the fatal Second Arrow: Acceptance' webinar that was held on the 3rd February 2021 and included in the video are details on how to download a peer approval CPD certificate.
In this module from the APT, we'll be talking about how to neutralise the extremely destructive 'second arrow,' through a principle of mindfulness: acceptance. The 'second arrow' refers to the spiral that so often occurs when for instance a person becomes depressed and then becomes frustrated that they are depressed, which makes them more distressed, which makes them more depressed and frustrated, and so on downwards. An exactly parallel effect occurs with anxiety, irritability, psychotic conditions and more.
Speaker: Dr William Davies, chaired by Amy George

Higher Order Therapy Courses.
1-hour courses.
A series of one hour 'online anytime' modules, each consisting of an audio lasting 15-30 minutes, plus an exercise and resources for you to you use and practice with afterwards.
The series is so named because it features all the 'higher order' factors that make therapy successful. If you examine the leading therapies they overlap to a fascinating degree, so by studying all the overlapping elements and then 'picking off' the elements that are unique to each particular therapy you achieve an extraordinary power and breadth in your ability to help others. And this is what the Higher Order Therapy series enables you to do.
