Book Club: Trauma-Focused ACT (session one)

A lot of folks have been asking for an ACT book for helping clients cope with trauma so for our final Book Club of the year we'll be reading Trauma-Focused ACT by Russ Harris. In this book you'll discover cutting-edge strategies for healing the past, living in the present, and building a new future. With this compassion-based, exposure-centered approach, you’ll learn how to help your clients:

• Find safety and security in their bodies
• Overcome hyperarousal and hypoarousal
• Break free from dissociation
• Shift from self-hatred to self-compassion
• Rapidly ground themselves and reengage in life
• Unhook from difficult cognitions and emotions
• Develop an integrated sense of self
• Resolve traumatic memories through flexible exposure
• Connect with and live by their values
• Experience post-traumatic growth

Join us for the first of three sessions for this book. An hour and a half to chat, connect, and grow. 

This first session covers Chapters 1-10. 

The second Book Club meeting will be on September 26th at 7 PM - 8:30 PM PT
