34: with Dennis Tirch

Dennis is an innovator straddling the words of ACT and CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy). He joins us to talk about the intersection of radical behaviorism in a wide ranging and intellectually rigorous conversation. Joanne, Dennis, and Tim each reflect on practice and technique in this episode with a focus on what works for each. Make sure to listen on to the end of the podcast where Tim and Joanne take a moment to debrief.

The ACT in Context Podcast is co-hosted by Joanne Steinwachs and Timothy Gordon.
