Help clients overcome perfectionism, fear of failure & relentless self-criticism

Self-sabotage... Paralysing perfectionism... Abusive self-criticism... Clients who struggle with these behaviours often desperately want to stop feeling "negative" emotions like anger and fear... And feel "positive" ones like joy and gratitude.

But what if the answer is NOT to change their emotions?

A more helpful—and simpler—approach is to encourage clients to open up to undesirable feelings and react to them mindfully.

Now, in this all-new online course, Dr Renata Porzig-Drummond and Jennifer Kemp show you how to use ACT techniques with a variety of clinical presentations so clients can simply 'be' with triggering situations and difficult feelings.

Register today to get a concise framework for helping clients overcome perfectionism, fear of failure, and relentless self-criticism, so they can thrive through any challenge life throws their way.
