Description of Learning Type CE Event: Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTraining) is quickly becoming a go-to in the field of ABA when it comes to addressing coping and delay-discounting (i.e., impulsivity). But did you know ACT is also a go-to for multiple provider types when it comes to sexual impulsivity and sexual behavior compulsions? Or how about the reason behind why this is preferred over 12-step "sex addiction" programs? This presentation covers what ACTraining is, what it looks like in a Behavior Plan, and how it can be utilized to reduce acting upon problematic urges.
