What a way to kick off the new class of 2025! ✨
​
This week I had the absolute joy of welcoming a brand new group of passionate and curious practitioners into my 2-year ACT training program.
​
We spent the first three days diving heart-first into the work ❤️ – with an experiential introduction to ACT, followed by two days of deep learning on RFT and functional analysis with none other than the brilliant Dr. Niklas Törneke🧠
​
I’m already so impressed by the openness, courage, and kindness of this group 🙏🏻❤️
​
If this is how we begin, I can only imagine where we’ll be in two years 🚀
​
Grateful. Energized. Humbled. And wildly excited for what lies ahead.
​
Here’s a little peek into our first 3 days together 😍

Do you work with clients who have experienced trauma? And do you want to learn how to make a real difference with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?
​
Now you have a unique opportunity to deepen your skills with an exclusive 2-day training led by internationally renowned ACT trainer Dr. Russ Harris.
​
🔥 Trauma-Focused ACT (TFACT): working with body, mind, and emotion 🔥
​
📅 Date: May 22–23, 2025
📍 Location: Ersta Hotel & Conference, Stockholm, Sweden
​
After this training, you will be able to:
​
✅ Help clients feel safe in their bodies, so they can regulate emotions and avoid getting stuck in survival responses.
​
✅ Navigate hyperarousal and hypoarousal, so you can tailor your approach to your client’s nervous system and prevent them from becoming overwhelmed or shut down.
​
✅ Effectively address dissociation, so you can guide clients back to presence without triggering fear.
​
✅ Support clients in building self-compassion instead of self-criticism, helping them stop fighting against themselves and take meaningful steps toward healing.
​
✅ Make traumatic memories more manageable through flexible exposure, without clients feeling forced or overwhelmed.
​
✅ Equip clients with tools to regain control over their lives, so they can engage in meaningful activities despite their history.
​
💡 Bring a colleague! Register before April 1 and bring a colleague at half price.
