In this video, you’ll learn:
- Why a client not completing the planned experiment can actually be a perfect outcome between sessions
- Strategies for preventing clients from being further demotivated by the situation
- How to use “failure” as an opportunity to learn more about the case and the core problem
- Why you should be curious about what the client did do instead of what they didn’t do
- The demeanor and approach you need to talk about this experience instead of brushing past it to the next thing
A personal note about the course from
Kirk Strosahl and Patti Robinson:
Imagine a world in which you routinely conclude therapy in half the time with even better results.
This is the dream for many therapists, especially as more people turn to mental health professionals for help and we find ourselves with bigger and bigger caseloads.
No matter how far we stretch ourselves, we only have so much time.
So, how do we do more with less?
This is the question that led us to develop focused acceptance and commitment therapy (or FACT), a streamlined method for using ACT principles to build psychological flexibility.
We’ve taught this approach to practitioners all over the world who want to move at a quicker pace, engage clients more effectively, and get results in less time. And now we’re sharing it in what we believe to be our best training yet.
True to the FACT philosophy, this online course is an exceptionally focused training.
To it, we’ve brought our very best tools. Not all of our tools, but our finest. And we teach them in an accessible way using a variety of roleplay sessions to demonstrate how they can best be implemented.
After taking this course, you’ll approach sessions with a concrete strategy and confidence in knowing that the conversation you’re about to have will be unlike any the client has had before.
That’s the whole deal: to change their perspective of their own suffering so they see options beyond shutting out life to avoid the pain.
When you can do this effectively, you can open up a new world for that person — even in as little as a single visit — and open up space to help more people in the long run.
That’s what’s in store for you in this course.
We hope you’ll join us inside!
