Hi David, Sorry to have missed you on Monday, if you go to the follow up training please let me know, and we can talk about ACT and CMT in person - and yes, ...

Hi again David, Is CMT a 2nd or 3rd wave approach? I think a case can be made for both positions. To put the other side, Paul Gilbert's emphasis seems to be to...

Hi David, I don't believe in CMT or in any other 3rd wave therapy we are trying to procure particular emotions. It seems to me that in using any kind of ...
Hi David I guess we've taken this as far as we can. As you've gathered, I formed the view that in CMT there is what in ACT circles might be seen as a "change...
OK, David, are you going to try the follow-up training? If so, see you there. David ... From: UKACT@yahoogroups.com [mailto:UKACT@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
