About this listen

Why is it so hard to be happy? Why do humans suffer so much? And what can we realistically do about it? No matter how rewarding your job, as a mental health professional, you may sometimes feel helpless in the face of these questions. You are also well aware of the challenges and frustrations that can present during therapy.

If you're looking for ways to optimize your client sessions, consider joining the many thousands of therapists and life coaches worldwide who are learning acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). With a focus on mindfulness, client values, and a commitment to change, ACT is proven-effective in treating depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, eating disorders, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and myriad other psychological issues. It's also a revolutionary new way to view the human condition.

A practical primer, ideal for ACT newcomers and experienced ACT professionals alike, ACT Made Simple offers clear explanations of the six ACT processes and a set of real-world tips and solutions for rapidly and effectively implementing them in your practice. This book gives you everything you need to start using ACT with your clients for impressive results.

Dull

Patronising and boring. I would not recommend. I couldn’t finish it. Such a shame. Nothing wrong with the subject, just the delivery.

Struggling with narration

Book is excellent and very valuable, but i have struggled a bit with the narration and considering buying a hard copy. it often feels as if the narrator is reading to children as opposed to adult mental health professionals.

Expertly edited audio recording

A lot of work has gone into making this book an easy listen. The original text has been carefully edited so that it is the perfect fit for Audible. It feels like l have a personal tutor teaching me ACT, step by step, and referring me to online printable resources. l am part way through the book and feel very engaged with it. l am finding the readings of the session transcripts (such as the goal setting examples ) particularly helpful. Looking forward to listening to more tomorrow and taking breaks to do skills practice when prompted to by the narrator.
