I have listened to five episodes and loved them all. As a grad student in clinical psychology, I have learned so much about ACT that I intend to apply immediately to my clinical work. I also really appreciate the openness and honesty of all these impressive researchers and clinicians.
Apple Podcasts5NotEzraKleinUnited States5 months ago - A Must-Listen for Anyone Who Cares About Human Growth!
I have been listening for a few years now, and through this podcast I have really developed a love and appreciation for ACT. Tom is a wonderful interviewer, and he hosts several “heavy hitters” in Psychology (such as Steve Hayes or Russ Harris); however, the style of the conversation is such that a layperson can easily comprehend and benefit from. This is one of the few shows of which I listen to nearly every episode. Keep up the good work, Tom!
Apple Podcasts5Guitar_man7000United States8 months ago - Great Podcast!
This podcast has been phenomenal in leading me to great resources in ACT with amazing guests and conversations. Imagine sitting down with the people who’ve theorized and created ACT? The teachers and supervisors who spread the word?! Hats off to Tom and his guests. Great work!!
Apple Podcasts5Neal P. LCSWUnited States10 months ago - Really love this podcast
This is, by far, my favorite podcast through the ACT lens. The guests are well picked and interesting, concepts are broken down and discussed in a digestible way (not always the case with behaviorist lectures or podcasts). I started listening in the later summer and I’ve already purchased 2 books out of the last 3 episodes I heard. The guests are that good. Highly recommend for therapists, future therapists, and even the general public.
