IMPORTANT FAREWELL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FARAH

In 2021, after years of training professionals in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy across Malaysia, I envisioned something more: a centre to support the growth of ACT in our region. That vision became ACT Kuala Lumpur, or ACTKL, which I fully funded and helped establish.

ACTKL was built from my value of contribution to society. Its mission was to establish ACT in the region. I now believe that mission has been accomplished.

Recently, the name and logos of ACTKL were successfully registered under trademark, and a business takeover was attempted. This was not foreseen, and I was caught off-guard.

I have done nothing wrong legally, and have now removed all content with ACTKL logos from public view. I am in a strong legal position to challenge these actions and pursue formal remedies, including police reports. However, those would not reflect my personal values. My values have always been generosity and integrity. These remain unchanged.

There are many ways to let someone know they are no longer needed, but this has got to be the best way. Therefore, I choose to step away gracefully and peacefully.

Thank you for the years of support, trust, and community. I leave with gratitude and a full heart.

Based on how this company’s value has been perceived, my mission has been fulfilled.

If you wish to contact me, my email is farah@forepsych.com.au. I will be removing myself from the ACTKL social media platforms shortly.

Goodbye, ACTKL.
And goodbye, Malaysia.
Until we meet again.

P.S. ACT Foundations+ is still happening this coming Monday. It will be my final workshop in Malaysia for the foreseeable future.

A bit of a late post, but the ACT Advanced+ 2024 workshop was a great success! We had 24 eager-to-learn and willing-to-be-vulnerable ACT practitioners join this amazing workshop, with many traveling from different parts of the Peninsular to attend in person. It’s always a plus to have psychiatrists in the mix too!

I’m honored to be part of their ACT journey and look forward to continuing to support them (they're doing group supervision together now :)

Malaysia is truly fortunate to have such dedicated and highly trained ACT practitioners.

If you’re keen to grow as an ACT practitioner, ACTKL is here to help you take the next step.

Our ACT colleague Poh Gan is running a FREE webinar for therapists tomorrow on burnout! Don’t miss this incredible opportunity! (Recording is available)

Here’s what Poh has to say:

Are you ready for a reset and renewal of energy?

If you are a therapist/ health care professional spreading too thin in every direction for work, family and relationships, juggling and having too much on your plate, time to pause and check in for an energy audit!

If you have been trying different ways to strike a work-life balance between being a therapist, a carer, a parent or multiple roles that you play and yet you know deep down that things are not working so well and your reservoir of energy is depleted, time to try something different!

Join me and other therapists as I share proven energy management strategies based on lived experience, science-backed performance psychology, neuroscience and spirituality.

This 90-minute webinar is packed with tried and tested strategies specifically tailored by therapists for therapists, with an experiential exercise!

There will be an emphasis on ways you can incorporate spiritual energy to support you to be physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused and spiritually aligned to lead a busy yet grounded and fulfilling life!

Time to opt out of survival mode!

Time to say YES for you to thrive and blossom!

The idea behind the webinar is ACT consistent because I am targeting emotional avoidance, defusion and disconnection from values and purpose. I will share energy management strategies and support development of present-moment awareness and openness to experience. And connection to values, taking actions to reconnect with their purpose and why.

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

We're thrilled to announce that we've just wrapped up our webinar on "ACT for Sexual Issues" by the amazing Andrea Koh, and it was a resounding success! Andrea shared invaluable insights from her wealth of experience in this area, highlighting how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be a powerful tool in addressing sexual issues.

One of the most rewarding outcomes was seeing participants' willingness to discuss sexual issues with clients increase by the end of the webinar, a testament to the impact of Andrea's expertise and the effectiveness of ACT in this context. (See poll results in photos - one was at the start of the webinar and second was at the end)

Feedback was highly encouraging as well and this can be viewed in the photos in this post (swipe to view)
