ACT and the Therapeutic Relationship
Context and Function Inside Rich Therapeutic Exchange
Cost: $249 (Professional) or $124.50 (Student) | Location: Online | 8 CE Hours Available
Every Tuesday from 4-6 PM EST from November 28th to December 19th
During four weekly sessions, expert trainers Dr. Robyn Walser and Lic. Manuela O’Connell will examine how you can deepen your connection with clients through the therapeutic stance. The course will explore how you can apply the tools you already have — the ACT processes — to help you respond more flexibly and creatively with each individual client as you increase your capacity to connect more deeply with those you serve.
You’ll come away from this course with a renewed sense that you are not simply prescribing cures, but rather creating a genuine relationship with another human — and working side by side with them as you together foster positive change informed and guided by their values.
