Starting January 2024
When Life Hits Hard
Book Club
Life hurts sometimes.
Whether it’s a sudden shocking loss or an ongoing hardship, each of us will have to face life’s downturns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a powerful approach to staying open to the richness of life and pursuing what matters even when things feel impossibly hard. In this book club, you’ll learn skills that will enhance your resilience and help you thrive when life hits hard.
Building off the success of The Feeling Great Book Club, Brandon Vance MD and Heather Clague MD are offering a six-week book club for the short, sweet and so helpful book When Life Hits Hard by Russ Harris.
Heather and Brandon bring their deep knowledge of TEAM-CBT to this exploration of ACT. If you are already familiar with TEAM therapy, you will find in ACT a complementary approach that builds on those practices.
Live online via Zoom for six consecutive Mondays, January 22 - February 26th, 4:00-5:20pm Pacific Time.
When Life Hits Hard is the same book as The Reality Slap, 2nd Edition. Be sure you get the 2nd Edition if you purchase The Reality Slap.
$144 for six 80-minute sessions. Sliding scale available. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Testimonials for Brandon and Heather for the Feeling Great Book Club

This morning I had tears in my eyes but they were from joy. As a result of the book group on Feeling Great I have practiced identifying cognitive distortions. My heart is full and I am grateful for these tools.

Reviewing the "Feeling Great" methods with others and with the expert guidance of Heather and Brandon helped solidify my own use of the methods. The group also brought a lot of collective wisdom and shared how they used the methods to their benefit. Several people in my group shared how well the methods worked in different situations and I had the same experience.
