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 absolutely loved this short course—the variety of learning activities kept things fresh and engaging. As someone who’s always relied on CBT in my practice, I’ve noticed it doesn’t click with every client, especially those dealing with chronic pain.
That’s where this course came in and filled the gap. It gave me fresh tools and a whole new approach for those moments when CBT wasn’t the right fit.
