We will discuss how missing important moments can lead to lost learning opportunities and how focusing on present moment awareness can help us better understand and respond to our clients' needs. The presentation will also introduce the ACTr framework, which emphasizes staying aware of our thoughts and feelings, accepting them, and taking actions that align with our values. Through interactive exercises, participants will learn how to stay focused and effective during sessions. Learning Objectives: Understand how being present and aware can help RBTs collect better data and build stronger relationships with clients. Learn the ACTr approach to manage thoughts and emotions, leading to more effective and value-driven actions in sessions.
