Therapy often gets caught up in diagnosing and reducing symptoms, turning it into a checklist of problems to solve instead of a path towards growth and fulfilment.
But let’s be honest, that approach can lead to a cycle of temporary relief rather than lasting transformation. And that’s not great for your clients. Not great for you.
That’s why you need to be using ACT.
Because ACT moves therapy away from a change-based model and lets you and your clients focus on what matters most: helping them thrive, achieve their goals and live a life aligned with their values.
And now in this intensive training you can join thousands of therapists who are not only finding greater treatment success with ACT but reenergising their passion for the work.
You’ll watch expert and author Dr. Mike Mecozzi for the step-by-step instruction you need to confidently start using ACT with your clients right away. This extensive training experience goes beyond “just talking” as Dr. Mecozzi shares experiential exercises, lists of metaphors, printables, and video demonstrations that will show you exactly what to do in sessions.
No guesswork. No hoping you’re doing it right. Dr. Mecozzi’s detailed guidance will ensure you know how to handle a variety of clinical scenarios whether you’re working with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles or any number of issues you see in clients each day.
And all along the way you’ll find yourself better able to empathise with your clients’ problems, feel more prepared to handle “stuckness” and even ready to use ACT skills that can protect you from burnout.
This is your chance to make therapy better for both you and your clients.
