Event Description

Many high-performing clients report being more “productive” than ever, but still, feel like they aren’t doing enough. Hooked by productivity anxiety, clients get caught in vicious striving cycles that leave them feeling dissatisfied, depleted, and acting in ways that are out of alignment with their values. Drawing from research on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and the contemplative teachings of “Wise Effort,” this workshop will guide practitioners in how to help clients shift from unworkable striving toward values-aligned, compassionate action. Participants will learn signs of inflexible striving and how to map out common processes that keep stuck and burned out. Participants will engage in metaphor, embodiment practices, experiential exercises, and short writing assignments to learn processes that will increase their client’s psychological flexibility and skillful striving.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the signs of inflexible striving in your clients and map out inflexible striving cycles.
2. Implement strategies to orient your clients toward skillful striving including values, self-compassion, and wise effort.
