Applied ACT Small Group
3-month intensive supervised Mindfulness learning Experience
for BCBAs adopting ACT coaching strategy into their ABA practice
This group is for BCBA's who are over the days of private events being off the table.
If you are someone who has been reading ACT books or taking Courses & is EXCITED again by their science but wants some guidance & practice, then this is the group for you.
Most BCBA's who I meet and work with believe with their whole hearts that private events have a role to play in behavioral interventions. Yet, most don't have a place to practice that feels safe or have a partner who is skilled enough to trust their education with since it wasn't taught to them during grad school.
Thats where I got you! In this group not only will you get the guidance & learning you desire, but also the hands on learning experience you need to build confidence in your practice!
In this intensive 3 month container we are going to learn & apply ACT coaching strategies to yourself and your paired partner. That way you can directly apply your new skills to a live person to practice with and to gain tangible experience with.
If this sounds like exactly what you need then you are in the right place.
Let's talk about what is included this intensive Coaching Mindset Applied ACT Learning Experience:
Each week will be a training video following this learning outline to watch, including exercises for you and your partner to practice!
-This will be an orientation of sorts in tandem with the pre-work of establishing some individual goals that you and your buddy will work on together through out the course.
-this week is all about learning to witness and honor emotions without trying to fix or resist them. This is a doubly hard task when you are a helper who loves guiding people towards a life they love because you have to help them while managing yourself.
-Often times our goals are born from ways of thinking that are not always set in stone the way we perceive them to be. This week is on teasing that out!
-The skill of sifting though what is to find out what matters to use that awareness to create a plan to amplify it!
-Barriers exist in both thoughts and actions so this week is about drawing awareness to and working with them in service of your goal and/or value
-Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, & self worth are the stars of this day. They are sneaky bastards who can stay hidden so this day is about uncovering them and calling them what they are so we can decide what stays and what goes.
-Burnout and Scarcity are the heavy hitters of todays awareness and again we have the opportunity to find them where they are hidden and choose how to move forward.
-how to see and work with these important and potent feelings shifting from stuck to workable.
-this is all about creating a relationship of empowerment vs force or pressure. With you and your client but more importantly with your client and themselves.
-how to flow with your clients day to day changes and how to help them hold function over momentum in their goals and decision making.
-knowing when to employ which strategies when and how to shift from one thing to the next in supporting someone.
-getting ready to take your skills out into the real world with courage and grace.

Here are some FAQ's
Do I have to be or want to be a life coach to join?
o Nope. You can also just want to add this as a strategy to your existing ABA practice. Kids, Staff, Parents, Mentees, etc.
Who can I use coaching with?
o Kids (who have a level of reliable, functional language to develop anxiety or depression) Staff, Parents, Mentees, Adults, Niche Groups you like and are skilled in, etc.
Why would I want to add coaching to my skill set?
o Because private events play a role in motivation and therefore observable behavior. So it’s time to treat it like they do and embrace the behavioral science that is proven to be effective. ACT and RFT for the WIN!
How are you qualified to teach this?
o I have been studying ACT since 2013, practicing it since 2017 with others. Have read countless books, have over 150 ceus in course style trainings and have received direct supervision by a field expert. I am also an author, ACE provider and experienced Coach and Mentor for the last year and a half.
Where’s the data?
o Go read articles by Hayes and check out ACBA then start branching out from there. Data exists outside of JABA and its valid AF. Use words like ACT, RFT and Hexaflex to get you started. My first book recommendations for beginners are
Get out of your mind and into your life by Hayes
ACT made simple by Harris
A liberated mind by Hayes
The happiness trap by Harris
I will have a book recommendations link coming soon for more of my advanced/experienced recommendations too, including:
• Brief interventions for radical change by Kirk and Patty
• The heart of ACT by Walser
As well as course recommendations and reviews from my favorite CEU website PraxisCET.com
If you still have questions that have not been answered, you are welcome to attend the free live Q&A zoom event where I will answer your questions and tell you my story in coaching & ACT!
Tuesday 8/23/22 at 11am PST.
the replay will be posted here after that date- be sure to check on my IG for an option to ask questions without being present!
