What People Say About Our Courses

Dr. Kirk D. Strosahl
Russ Harris is the consummate ACT clinician and a dynamite trainer. He makes ACT concepts easy to understand and implement in real time clinical practice. He has a real passion for ACT work and his training methods are absolutely first rate. I would highly recommend his training system to anyone who really wants to learn the ins and outs of ACT!

Dr. Steven Hayes
Russ Harris is brilliant in his ability to sniff out needless complexity and present complex clinical ideas in an accessible way. He has brought his clinical creativity to new methods and new ways of getting to the heart of these issues with clients. That is a great combination and a significant contribution

Ian Guyah-LowPsychologist - Toddington, United Kingdom
It is broken down really well to understand each element in easily manageable chunks so you can really see how the model comes together and how to apply it in your day to day practice. This is a skill Russ has to really make things laser-focused in an easily digestible way.

Julia TwynholmPsychologist - UK
Lots of case examples and chances to observe skills being used and practical tools to use. I like watching FACT in action and tools to apply it.

Halle Ross-YoungPsychologist - Tyler, TX, USA
Russ Harris explains ACT well. I enjoy learning about ACT's approach to trauma work because that is something I have not received before in my training. It's an interactive nature, the video examples, the materials for review and practice.

Laura de VriesPsychotherapist - The Netherlands
The program is excellent in many ways. The vision behind ACT on life, being human and psychological problems is very relatable to me. Russ Harris is a very inspiring teacher and person. He can explain things in a very clear way and is warm, accessible, and humorous.
