In this course you will take 34 informative lectures taught by UK Research Psychologist and international lecturer on Psychology &Counselling - Elmira Strange, MPhil. In this course you will find out about many interesting ACT aspects (such as 'Acceptance' and 'Identifying Your Values') that you will be able to use for yourself and when working with other people.
In this course you will learn for example, what Psychological Flexibility is and why you have to develop this skill if you want to feel more satisfied with your life. You will also learn how to practice 'Mindfulness' and 'Acceptance' in your daily life so that your cognitive state became more balanced over time. You will also find out why 'chasing happiness' is not such a good idea after all and what you can do about it.
You will also understand how to use 'metaphors' for managing your own thoughts and emotions so that you could regain control of what you think and how you feel on daily basis.

Instructor Details

Elmira Strange

My name is Elmira Strange, and I am Motivational Psychologist and Certified Life Coach. I am passionate about working with students who want to learn about Psychology, Psychotherapy and working with people (coaching).
My previous work involved Research Psychology and Lecturing at University (UK).
The unusual bit: I was born in Northern Kazakhstan (where it's freezing cold in winter -40C and really hot summers +40C), then moved to Moscow, Russia, and finally to London, UK.
The interesting bit: I had a life-saving surgery and near-death experience in 2012. The near-death experience made me realise that we are here to share our knowledge, help each other, and enjoy this life.
My interests: Psychology, Motivation
My previous experience: Whilst I was working at University (Wales, UK) as a Senior Researcher and Psychology Lecturer (prior to Udemy), my focus was on 'Researching Stress in Families of Disabled Children' where I had to learn what makes people stressed and unhappy.
Since 2006 I am working as an 'online entrepreneur': writing blogs and books, creating YouTube videos, and now 'teaching online' which has become my true passion. In my Udemy courses I combine my extensive knowledge of 'online entrepreneurship' and my passion for MotivationalPsychology, Coaching, and Psychotherapy.

This has been a great match for me and has provided a thorough and concise review about what ACT is.

By Michael Hester on 12/6/2020

Yes. This is a great topic and a great instructor

Yes

By Dan Horwitz on 11/25/2020

Well organized and presented. Some of the audio had freeze frames, but I don't know if that is on my end or the course. More freezes than usual. Very good course. Would highly recommend.

Hi there. Some of the information are quite interesting. I have similar methods in counselling but the example about comparing the human mind with the sky and thoughts with clouds is a very creative way of looking at things and the clients will love that way of seeing thoughts. That's for sure. I will work more in helping people to commit more, to bring more action in their life .. 10++

I find the instructor's strong accent very distracting. She is really pleasant and intelligent, but it's incredibly challenging to listen for any length of time.

Quoting wikipedia when you are a PhD just doesn't sit right.

By Aftab Sidddiqui on 11/20/2020

Elmira knows the subject well but she hides behind Slide and keeps on reading the slide much of the time which feels like reading a book rather she should be on camera and present some live examples and cases on each lecture.

By Sangeetha Jose on 11/12/2020

So far going good, Need to learn this because of some personal reasons .

By S I on 11/11/2020
