ACT FOR THE PUBLIC
Most of you know me by now, so I won't bore you with introductions "about me." This is about you.
If you've landed on this page, then I'm guessing that you've heard about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Perhaps you've read a book or two, attended one or more ACT workshops, an ACBS meeting, or have watched some of the excellent ACT training DVDs. You've gotten this far for a reason. There's something about ACT that resonates with you. And, now you're at a point where you may be applying it in your personal and professional life. You may also find ACT easy to get intellectually (after some initial effort) and much harder to get experientially. I used to think that books, videos, workshops, and unsupervised practice would foster an intimate and skillful fluidity with ACT. Now, I don't think so. There is a need for consultation and supervision so as to grow in the practical application of ACT for a range of problems. So, in recent years I decided to offer clinical consultation and supervision. As Rumi reminds us, there is a spaciousness we can contact, a place that is beyond rightdoing and wrongdoing. In this space, we find room to grow. My intention is to meet you right where you are in that field we call ACT and help you grow. I will serve as a guide, a teacher, a support, a sounding board, and a willing ear as you work to apply ACT in your personal and professional life. I'm offering both one-on-one and group-based clinical supervision & consultation via Skype for mental health professionals who wish to grow and develop in their ACT clinical compentencies. I've been doing this on a regular basis for quite some time with new and more seasoned members of the ACT community in the United States and abroad. If you're interested in exploring supervision and/or consultation via Skype, please contact me. Consultation is typically monthly, with dates and times arranged on an individual basis. There is a fee (paid via PayPal) associated with ACT consultation and Supervision and you will need to set up a free Skype account. Peace -john |
