Monthly Supervision in Process-based Behaviour Therapy (PBBT)
Our monthly supervision subscription allow participants to meet monthly and ask questions about how PBBT applies to their own clinical practice or specific cases. We do this in a group format to offer participants exposure to a wide variety of cases.
What does subscribing to monthly supervision include?
- You will gain access to 2 hours of live and interactive supervision clinics in PBBT each month
- A recording of each supervision clinic that will be available afterwards in case you miss the live session or if you just want to rewatch the session
- You will be sent clinical notes of the cases analysed during supervision
- You will receive an email from us each month outlining clinical tools used in PBBT
Location: Zoom
Dates and Times: Supervision will be held on the first Wednesday of every month between 17:00-19:00 (Irish Time Zone).
Pre-requisites for Supervision
It is helpful if you have completed some prior training in PBBT (e.g., Introduction to PBBT course), however, we have had many individuals come directly into supervision without any trouble. You are welcome to come and simply listen until you are comfortable presenting a case or asking a question.
Cost: EUR 49.99 per month
PBBT is a recently developed form of trademarked psychological therapy that can be used with the full range of psychological problems, even the most individualistic. The therapy is entirely based on cutting-edge behavioural science and specifically on clinical applications of Relational Frame Theory (RFT). PBBT has been developed over a period of ten years by Yvonne and Ciara based on thirty years of their combined experience as researchers and clinicians.
PBBT provides a comprehensive understanding of how a sense of self can be compromised by psychological processes and offers clear guidance on how these processes can be re-directed toward growth and well-being. The therapy draws its interventions from a diverse toolkit which are uniquely tailored to meet the needs of the specific problem. It has been used with clients and groups across a broad spectrum of psychological difficulties and has also been employed in organizational and professional contexts.
Testimonials
“Venturing into PBBT has had a profound impact on me, both as a professional and in allowing myself just to be me, without hiding behind my professional veil. The PBBT trainings and supervision clinics I have attended with Yvonne and Ciara have sharpened my behavioural lens considerably, as well as the ability to conceptualise cases on a process level. The degree of precision in training me to look for the core patterns of human struggles is both invaluable and intriguing. I don’t feel so stuck or lost in sessions anymore and I'm less bogged down with the next fancy exercise which I get convinced my clients will benefit from. This unique combination of a very science-based approach and the radical warmth, validation and respect for both our clients and us which Yvonne and Ciara bring to the table makes it a very safe, fun and competent learning environment. I’m not close to being done with PBBT and Perspectives Ireland at all. “
-Camilla, Gronlund, ACT House
"Early on in my ACT journey, I developed a strong interest in Relational Frame Theory. However, until the emergence of PBBT, I never saw how a knowledge of RFT could be used to guide clinical practice. It seemed all RFT could do was provide complicated-sounding accounts for what we were already doing. All this changed with PBBT. For the first time, RFT-based analysis stood at the heart of case conceptualization and prescribed clinical interventions. PBBT gave me the tools for conducting functional analysis of verbal networks in a way that effectively helps predict and influence client behavior and expands the range of clinical interventions. Since I’ve integrated PBBT into my clinical practice, my clients’ clinical effectiveness measures have improved significantly. PBBT goes to the heart of who we are as humans and gives us concrete tools to target the unhelpful verbal networks that trap us in a false sense of ourselves. It helps us find and grow into who we really are. A deeply existential therapy of the self, I can’t recommend PBBT highly enough."
