What our learners say

I went in thinking I had a solid handle on working with clients facing chronic pain and emotional struggles—but wow, this course opened my eyes. It was engaging, packed with practical tools I could use immediately, and gave me a whole new way of thinking about treatment. Now, I feel way more confident helping clients manage their pain and emotions in a way that’s flexible and actually works for them. Honestly, I didn’t realize how much I needed ACT until I started using it—and now I can’t imagine my practice without it!

I am still trying to process all of the wonderful information, but I loved learning about ACT and can’t wait to learn more! The breakdown of each component was helpful, along with the resources and book recommendations shared. I loved the introduction of “SMARTER” goals, as I’ve never heard that one before! I also really appreciate the suggestion to use this practice on ourselves, as the work we’re doing can be difficult and triggering at times. As a practitioner and an empath, I find myself feeling anxious from the hustle and bustle of each day and it can be hard to “embrace the shake”, so the suggestion to use it on myself is a nice reminder to give myself some grace.
