ACT:Root to Fruit
Marcel Tassara, PhD
Do you like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and feel like your keep missing the nail?Want to:- Get grounded in the foundation stones?- See contingencies?- Add context?- Be a functional contextualist? (and know what that means)This is a new podcast that seeks to excavate the roots of the contextual behavioral sciences, so that the fruit that us clinician deliver is as pristine as possible. It's a sequential experience that takes non-congenital behaviorists beyond the 6 core processes, and just saying "milk, milk, milk". Many of us that come to ACT/CBS don’t get past the razzle and dazzle...Well, walk with me on this quest and lets play with the boring that the razzle dazzle is built on.- New episodes published weekly starting 7/20/2020- Experiential work in (just about) every episode

#6 Emily Sandoz
Part scientist / part sculptor, Dr. Emily Sandoz shapes together the dry earth (from which contextual behavioral technologies sprout) with the teary depth of the human condition. So grateful for her being her and sharing that radiance.

#5 Niklas Törneke
The man, the myth, the legend- Niklas Törneke, MD. He wrote the green RFT book is an ACBS Fellow and all around great guy. He graciously sits down with me for a chat and some experiential work. Niklas has an almost magical ability to simplify the complex (without dumbing it down) and shows off this ability in the experiential work we get into.books: https://www.newharbinger.com/author/niklas-t%C3%B6rnekecontact for consultation: niklas.torneke@telia.com
