Description

Chronic pain is central to the story of so many clients’ lives.

Sure, it hurts, but it goes so much deeper than that - permeating every aspect of their existence. Their identity becomes entangled in the complexities of pain. Their mentality is reshaped. Pain becomes an unwanted guest in every thought, decision, and emotion.

Coping with something this ingrained in your clients takes a big change – one that impacts how they perceive, manage, and embrace not just pain, but life.

That’s where the proven power of ACT comes in.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers a path to healing that’s more than just a strategy for managing pain; it’s a comprehensive approach to life that addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions of pain’s influence.

With ACT you can help your clients experience a brighter future where pain no longer dominates their story…and Dr. Jennifer Caspari is the perfect person to show you how.

In over a decade of work in hospitals, the VA healthcare system, and private practice Dr. Caspari has mastered the use of ACT-based treatment for clients with chronic pain.

Now in this 2-day training she’ll show exactly how you can start using it with clients right away. You’ll get everything you need including:

  • Scripts and detailed guidance on over 20 powerful exercises
  • Tools to confront pain avoidance so clients can take action toward healing
  • Tips on how to shift clients from “pain control” to values-driven living
  • Treatment plans to help clients rediscover the quality of life they thought was lost
  • Quick mindfulness techniques for immediate pain relief
  • And much more!

Behavioral treatment of chronic pain is only going to grow as the era of relying on dangerous and addictive drugs comes to an end.

This is your chance to make sure you have the best tool available for your clients.
