Who Should Attend:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This training is for parents who often find themselves saying:\n\u201cI\u2019m exhausted.\u201d\n\u201cI just can\u2019t handle it anymore.\u201d\n\u201cThere\u2019s too much going on.\u201d\n\u201cI never have time.\u201d\n\u201cI give everything to my child and have nothing left for myself.\u201d\n\nIf you\u2019ve started worrying about your emotional state, if it feels like you\u2019re no longer living a full life \u2014 this training is for you.\n\nYou\u2019ll learn how ABA can help you continue being a parent \u2014 an active helper and teacher for your child. Each participant will come with their own concern and define a personal goal. You\u2019ll learn and try practical techniques to improve your emotional well-being.\n\nIf four sessions aren\u2019t enough, you can contact me to schedule additional meetings.<\/p>\n How the Training Works<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Each group meets four times online.\n\nEach session lasts 1.5 hours, once a week.\n\nBefore the first session, you\u2019ll receive short questionnaires to complete. You may send your answers to us, but it\u2019s optional.\n\nDuring sessions, I\u2019ll ask questions that may be difficult to answer right away \u2014 and you never have to share more than you want to. Everything is voluntary.\n\nHomework is optional too \u2014 you can send it if you\u2019d like personal feedback.\n\nEach session starts with a short talk explaining why we use certain exercises, followed by practice.\n\nIt\u2019s best if you can be in a quiet room where you won\u2019t be interrupted for 1.5 hours.\n\nAll exercises are done together with the group, followed by a short reflection and discussion.<\/p>\n Training cost: $85<\/p>\n Training Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n Session 1: Getting to Know Behavior and Your Inner World<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ll review what behavior is and the main behavioral principles. This helps us understand that our thoughts are also behavior, governed by the same principals. We\u2019ll start with external behavior, then move to internal. We\u2019ll explore why we experience worry, frustration, and other negative emotions. Each participant will reflect on this in their own way.<\/p>\n Session 2: Behavior Never Happens \u201cJust Because\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n ABA teaches us that all behavior has a purpose. It happens in certain conditions to achieve specific outcomes. The same applies to our thoughts and feelings \u2014 they occur for a reason, in a certain context. We learn to think and feel in particular ways through our environment. We\u2019ll talk about avoidance behaviors \u2014 the ones that help us escape unpleasant situations \u2014 and see them as learned responses.<\/p>\n Session 3: Setting Personal Goals and Choosing Individual Techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n To make progress, it\u2019s important to know what you\u2019re working on. We\u2019ll define clear goals: what we want to change, where we want to go, and how quickly we want results. You\u2019ll learn to observe your thoughts and behaviors to define your personal task. We\u2019ll also discuss finding your own reinforcers \u2014 the rewarding outcomes that matter most in your life. These will be unique for everyone. Once your personal goal and reinforcers are clear, we\u2019ll find the techniques that will help you reach your goal most effectively.<\/p>\n Session 4: How to Keep Moving Toward Your Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n When we don\u2019t measure progress, we can mistake big changes for small ones \u2014 or small ones for big. From the very first session, you\u2019ll record observations about yourself using simple forms. In the fourth session, participants can share their results if they wish. We\u2019ll review the techniques introduced earlier and discuss how they can be adapted for each person. It\u2019s always interesting to see what changes participants make and why. What works for one person may not work for another \u2014 and that\u2019s perfectly okay.<\/p>\n I look forward to seeing you at the training!<\/p>\n To register, email olga@parent-academy.com\n with the subject line: ACT for Parents<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0410\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440 \u0438 \u0432\u0435\u0434\u0443\u0449\u0430\u044f \u0442\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0438\u043d\u0433\u0430: \u041e\u043b\u044c\u0433\u0430 \u0428\u0430\u043f\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0430, M.S., BCBA \u0422\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0438\u043d\u0433 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0445\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442 \u0432 \u0440\u0430\u043c\u043a\u0430\u0445 \u0410\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0435\u043c\u0438\u0438 \u041e\u0431\u0440\u0430\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f \u0420\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0435\u0439. \u0412\u044b \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0442\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u0440\u0435\u0433\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u0447\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0437 \u0441\u0430\u0439\u0442 \u0410\u043a\u0430\u0434\u0435\u043c\u0438\u0438:\u00a0http:\/\/www.parent-academy.com\/svyazatsya-s-nami\/. \u0423\u043a\u0430\u0437\u044b\u0432\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0435, \u043d\u0430 \u043a\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0438\u043c\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e \u0442\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0438\u043d\u0433 \u0432\u044b \u0445\u043e\u0442\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u0440\u0435\u0433\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f. \u0414\u043b\u044f \u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u044d\u0442\u043e\u0442 \u0442\u0440\u0435\u043d\u0438\u043d\u0433: \u0414\u043b\u044f \u0442\u0435\u0445, \u043a\u0442\u043e \u0432\u0441\u0435 \u0447\u0430\u0449\u0435 \u043f\u043e\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044f\u0435\u0442 \u0441\u0435\u0431\u0435 … Continue reading
