What Will You Learn in This Course?
In this clinical case, participants will explore how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports transgender clients in navigating the challenges of gender dysphoria and transition. Through a comprehensive approach, ACT fosters mindfulness, reduces experiential avoidance, and encourages clients to take meaningful, value-based actions aligned with their authentic selves. The course delves into essential ACT techniques such as defusion, self-as-context, and committed action, helping transgender clients unhook from unhelpful thoughts, enhancing body awareness, and cultivating self-acceptance. This case provides a practical framework for therapists seeking to support their clients in their personal and medical transition journeys.
