When the People Who Help Others
Are Burning Out
​
Mental health professionals spend their careers helping others navigate stress, uncertainty, loss, trauma, and change.
​
But what happens when the clinician is the one running out of emotional resources?
​
Burnout can affect our energy, effectiveness, relationships, professional satisfaction—and our ability to remain fully present with the people we serve.
This intensive goes beyond simply telling clinicians to practice more “self-care.”
​
ACT for Burnout provides a clinically grounded framework for understanding burnout and responding to it differently.

A Different Kind of Training
ACT is best understood by experiencing it—not simply learning about it.
​
Throughout this intensive, you’ll move beyond theory into active practice, clinical application, and experiential learning.
You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of ACT for Burnout—and practical skills you can begin using with clients right away.
When clients are burned out, stuck, or disengaged…
what actually helps?
Burnout doesn’t usually respond to insight alone.
Clients may understand what’s happening for them. They may even have tools to deal with it. But something still keeps them looping—caught between overwhelm, avoidance, and exhaustion.
ACT for Burnout offers a different way in. Instead of trying to eliminate distress, it helps clients change their relationship to it—so they can begin moving toward what matters, even when things feel hard.
Why This Training Works
Many workshops stay conceptual. You leave inspired, but unsure how to actually use the work in the room.
This intensive is built differently.
You’ll be practicing throughout—learning how to:
​
-
Work directly with experiential avoidance and cognitive fusion
-
Guide clients into present-moment awareness without forcing stillness or calm
-
Clarify values in a way that feels real, not abstract
-
Support committed action that is sustainable, even in the presence of burnout
By the end, ACT won’t feel like something you’ve learned. It will feel like something you can do.
What You’ll Learn
In this 2-day experiential intensive, you’ll develop practical skills to:
​
-
Apply the ACT model to burnout, depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress
-
Help clients relate differently to difficult thoughts, emotions, and internal experiences
-
Use values as a stabilizing direction when motivation is low
-
Introduce behavioral change that feels possible—not overwhelming
-
Adapt ACT processes across diverse populations
This is hands-on, applied learning you can bring home and apply directly to your clinical work.
