ACT:Root to Fruit

Do you like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and feel like your keep missing the nail? Want to: - Get grounded in the foundation stones? - See contingencies? - Add context? - Be a functional contextualist? (and know what that means) This is a new podcast that seeks to excavate the roots of the contextual behavioral sciences, so that the fruit that us clinician deliver is as pristine as possible. It's a sequential experience that takes non-congenital behaviorists beyond the 6 core processes, and just saying "milk, milk, milk". Many of us that come to ACT/CBS don’t get past the razzle and dazzle...Well, walk with me on this quest and lets play with the boring that the razzle dazzle is built on. - New episodes published weekly starting 7/20/2020 - Experiential work in (just about) every episode
