Course Descriptions
The Science of Intuition: Clinical Tools to Help Patients Act from Inner Wisdom
Why You’ll Love this Course:
While most clinicians likely encourage patients to connect to, listen to, and act from their own intuition, very few of us have been provided with concrete training in how to support patients in practicing these important behaviors. This course will teach you how to integrate mindfulness-based behavioral tools focused on intuition in specific, applicable ways. By learning how to define and practice behaviors associated with intuition, you will be able to more effectively support patients in accessing and making decisions from their own inner wisdom in your therapeutic work.
Course description:
This course will provide practical instruction to therapists seeking training in how to integrate mindfulness-based behaviors focused on intuition into their clinical work across diverse populations. Appropriate participants have some prior experience using mindfulness in their clinical work, and they are interested in learning how to apply these behaviors to improving patients’ connection to intuition in more targeted and effective ways in psychotherapy. This course will place a strong emphasis on understanding mindfulness as a behavior, learning interoceptive behavioral practices, and weaving values and/or spirituality into psychotherapy that both patients and therapists can use to enhance treatment effectiveness.

Treating Perfectionism: An ACT-based Approach to Move from Rigidity to Flexibility
Why You'll Love this Course:
Why You'll Love this Course:
As a therapist, you’re likely familiar with countless clinical examples of perfectionism, though you may not have conceptualized them this way. Whenever you encounter different types of linear, rigid, or inflexible patterns of thinking and behavior, perfectionism is at play. These types of struggles can sometimes feel intractable in therapy, and it can be difficult to know how to help patients move towards openness, curiosity, and flexibility to enact meaningful and impactful behavioral change. This course will teach you how to use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to not only improve your ability to recognize the many ways perfectionism may present, but it will provide you with evidence-based tools to more effectively decrease perfectionism-related behaviors while increasing psychological and behavioral flexibility.

Course description:
Course description:
While any effective psychological treatment considers and integrates patient values, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has explicitly incorporated identifying and clarifying values into the psychotherapy model. This functions to help individuals change their behavior in ways that align with what brings them meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Values clarification is a powerful tool in not only helping patients to connect with who they are, but also in providing concrete strategies to help make changes that they themselves have defined as important to creating the lives they want to live.
This course provides practical instruction in the process of values clarification. This may be particularly useful with patients who struggle with the following:
