People struggling with addictions often suffer from tremendous shame and self-judgment. Helping our clients overcome these problems is challenging and relapse rates are high. Fortunately, recent advances in behavioral science give a hopeful option for us to provide our patients effective tools to overcome addiction. Jonathan Bricker, PhD, will walk you through his team’s well-tested ACT-based program to help you get your clients unstuck from addictions. Dr. Bricker will introduce attendees to our model and show the scientific data supporting it. This will include experiential exercises for illuminating the core principles, including opening client willingness to have cravings and not act on them as well as cope with shame and self-judgment associated with addictions. Finally, you’ll learn methods to integrate digital technologies into your addiction treatment.
