Ingrid Ord

Speaking to Ingrid Ord was a wonderful opportunity to get a perspective of how a Christian views Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and about her book, ACT with Faith.  I have a history of working the the Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests (SNAP; the organization that was highlighted in the Academy Award winning movie, Spotlight), and have worked with very distraught Christians and understand the obstacles of applying ACT to people of certain faith.  Ingrid wrote a really neat book to help unravel those types of issues.  I hope you enjoy the podcast.   I have a few trainings coming up during 2016, and a lot of exciting projects for 2017.  Contact me for more information.

Before the Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences conference in The Netherlands, there were many requests to record the workshops.  Joanne Dahl, Jennifer Plumb, Ian Stewart, and Tobias Lundgren led a fantastic workshop entitled The Art &amp; Science of Valuing in Psychotherapy.  They wrote a book with  the same title published by New Harbinger, and it is excellent.   This is Part Two of the workshop.  Just to clarify, all I did was record this workshop and asked for permission to post it here on the Functionally Speaking website.  Enjoy!

The Art & Science of Valuing in Psychotherapy - Part One

You might need some references for this version of Functionally Speaking.  The intro alludes to a Washington Post article called Pearls Before Breakfast that I found particularly condescending and is related to a series of posts on the ACT Listserve called “A Violinist in the Metro” from March 2008.   During the discussion about mindfulness in the podcast, you might like to have the Inflexahex Case Conceptualization Worksheet available, and it is available at the ACT in Practice website.    Finally, back in the mid-1990's my metal band, SONIPATH, wrote a song called ACT. I discuss the song a bit at the end of the podcast.  If you are interested in the lyrics visit my blog on the ACBS website: http://www.contextualpsychology.org/blog/dj_moran.  If you can't find the lyrics on that page, it is because you aren't an ACBS member.  Please consider joining: http://www.contextualpsychology.org/join   In addition, there are a few ACT trainings coming up.  Please contact me for more information about these workshops:  Chicagoland - April 25, 2009 Baltimore - May 9, 2009 Phoenix - May 22-23, 2009 Molde, Norway - June 25-26, 2009 Enschede, The Netherlands - July 1-3, 2009  Enjoy the podcast!
