This is episode 5 in the Practical for Your Practice series. In this episode, the Center for Deployment Psychology sits down with Dr. Robyn Walser for a rich discussion on how clinicians can get better at conceptualizing cases on the fly.
Dr. Robyn Walser has a heartfelt conversation with Debbie Sorensen about her book The Heart of ACT: Developing a Flexible, Process-Based, and Client-Centered Practice Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. As a master therapist and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) trainer, Robyn reflects on how the interpersonal relationship unfolding in the therapy room all too often takes a backseat to applying techniques or interventions when learning a new therapy like ACT. Give this interview a listen for some wise words on how to deepen your clinical practice by showing up more fully and engaging your clients from a process-oriented place.
