In September of 2013, Dr. Shook attended two major trainings. The first was an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Bootcamp in Orlando. The training involved about 37 hours of training. Some of the training was presented by Steven Hayes who is the founder of ACT.
The other traing was a 6 day retreat with Thich Naht Hahn…a truly wonderful experience. These are only a few trainings completed in the past few years. However, these were my favorite in recent memory.
