I am joined by the marvelous Temple Morris, LCSW-C. She is a therapist/consultant in private practice at True North in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. She is a mover and shaker in the ACT community especially in the psychedelic special interest group. In this episode we talk abut helping clients prepare for their plant medicine journeys, and to coach people to use ACT processes on these inner voyages. We talk about the entheogenic/psychedelic renaissance. Also, we discuss how our own explorations have informed our work and lives.

I'm joined by the marvelous Jennifer Kemp to discuss all things perfectionism. We discuss function over form, the utility of spotting the thread of perfectionism that sometimes connects many behaviors, and also get into a real play around these issues. We also discuss her soon to be published ACT workbook for perfectionism. I'll put a link once it is published.

She is available for consultation: jennifer@preciousminds.com.au

So grateful to bring another of the roots of the contextual behavioral psychologies, one of the co-creators of ACT, Kirk Strosahl, PhD. Kirk is gifted with the ability to hit every note, gifting something to new comers to contextualism and dyed in the wool behaviorist in one fell swoop. We chop it up on mentalism, contextualism, and more.

I'm joined by a TAPROOT of ACT and the contextual behavioral sciences, Dr. Linda Hayes. Her work and attention to the philosophy of science and behaviorism was a keystone in the archway of ACT. We sit down to discuss rule governance, Skinner and RFT, and problems with mentalistic thinking and causality.

I'm joined by my friend and Matrix Ninja Jacob Martinez. We explore how this geo-spatial tool can be added to your ACT stable house to help you and the client think functionally. Jacob is available for consultation and just started a weekly project to offer free training around the ACT Matrix.
