Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm excited to be here. HOST: To start, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Of course.

This course focuses on practical applications of ACT techniques, which is a growing trend in the field. HOST: That's really valuable. Now, what are some challenges faced in teaching or learning this subject? GUEST: One challenge is helping professionals unlearn some preconceived notions about PTSD treatment. We focus on embracing thoughts and feelings, rather than fighting them, which can be counterintuitive at first. HOST: I see. Finally, how do you envision the future of ACT and PTSD recovery? GUEST: I believe ACT will continue to gain traction as a proven, effective approach to PTSD recovery. Our goal is to equip mental health professionals with the skills they need to make a lasting impact on their clients' lives.
