Tough Customers: Is It Them or Us?
By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better.

More About This Keynote
Many people seek therapy because they’re emotionally overwhelmed and feel angry at or cut off from others in their lives, yet they’re unable to move beyond the thoughts and feelings that are impeding them. Explore how we can use mindfulness, acceptance, and psychological flexibility to dismantle the automatic mental processes, built into human cognition, that get in the way of true compassion for the self and others, and increase human connection.
Meet the Speaker
Steven Hayes, Ph.D., author of the bestseller Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life, is an acknowledged leader of the “third wave” of cognitive psychotherapy, which holds that we should accept even our negative thoughts as an integral part of life, rather than trying to eliminate them. He’s the innovator behind Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Learning Objectives
1. Discuss the mental processes that block human connection
2. Explain the role of mindfulness in developing compassion
3. Name 3 characteristics of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
