Description

Are your supervision sessions becoming routine? Does it feel like you are just checking a box? Or, do you find that your supervisees only know theory, and have trouble getting comfortable with moving experientially into the therapy process?

Clinical supervision is so much more than arbitrary case reviews and signatures!

Bring vitality and clinical value to your supervision sessions by infusing empirically-grounded principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, behavior therapy, and experiential exercises.

Help move supervisees from passive participants to curious, competent, flexible professionals by facilitating supervision using the SHAPE framework (Morris & Bilich-Eric), an accessible, contextual model that teaches supervisees to:

• identify when to persist and when to change what they do in therapy
• learn from experience and loosen strict rule-governed behaviors
• avoid getting caught up in struggles with clients’ thoughts and emotions
• construct the big picture of what therapy and supervision are all about
• take small action steps as key to creating a pattern of change
• engage in supervision on a deeper level as opposed to rote case review
• and more!

Through lecture, discussion, video, case examples, role play, and experiential exercises, expert presenter Dr. Richard Sears will bring the principles of ACT and other approaches to life with his wisdom, humor, and passion to help SHAPE your supervisees into competent professionals in your very next supervision session!

• Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Innovative Business Model:
     • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
  2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
     • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
  3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
     • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
       • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
       • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
       • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
       • No direct email support from the author or their team.

     We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

  Refund is acceptable:

  • Firstly, item is not as explained
  • Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
  • Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
