bringing functional contextualism and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Christians in a way that supports, and is supported by, their religion, and she expertly guides ACT therapists working with Christian clients who identify strongly with their faith.

It's so tangible and provides clarity when you are feeling 'messy'. It's a cross and yet feels like an anchor when you use it. I especially notice how men relate to a model that is so clear. The model and the 'name' provide relevance and respect for what this model is, does, and stands for. It is Christ centred and the name highlights this fact.”

As I mentioned earlier, I am working on a book about social anxiety specifically for Christians. The traditional treatment models for Social Anxiety Disorder are woefully inadequate (CBT, etc.), with at least a 40% rate of nonresponders. Around 80% will never even seek treatment, which leaves a huge number of suffering (often paralyzed) Christians. What if all those people with SAD continued to experience symptoms, yet lived incredibly purposeful and meaningful lives anyway? The way Act with Faith embraces suffering as a part of purposeful living is so refreshing, and biblically accurate.”
