I am honored to sit down at length with Dr. Yvonne Barnes-Holmes out of Donegal Ireland. She is one of the main pioneers of Relational Frame Theory, or RFT, which is the psychological theory for understanding the complexities of human language and cognition, including the fundamentals of how and why we suffer. She is world trainer in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a clinician and researcher who has published over 150 journal articles and book chapters, presented over 500 trainings and workshops around the world, and has practiced behavioral therapy for over 22 years. She is co-founder of Process-based Behavior Therapy along with Dr. Ciara McEnteggart and co-director of a world class psychological consulting firm Perspectives Ireland where you find certification trainings of PBBT on their website perspectivesireland.ie

Process-based Behavior Therapy, or PBBT is cutting-edge behavioral science that is a clinical application of RFT that can be used for the full range of psychological problems, even the most individualistic. She’ll be breaking this down for us in terms we can understand.

However, if you want to gain a better background of what this is, go to the website go-RFT.com and scroll down to the bottom where you’ll find some excellent articles that explain everything, including a good background.

Now, If you want a visual of this podcast, you can go to the ACT in Perspective youtube channel, https://youtu.be/ql-eVz17Yxo for this full interview, but includes multiple diagrams, web information, and transcript.

Now, in this episode, I want to apologize for my sound quality at times, but that’s only on my end due to mike issues. You can hear her just fine and that’s the important thing.

I would definitely encourage my fellow Behavior Analysts to at least look into PBBT as a way to grow professionally and expand your practice, if you haven’t already.

Enjoy and leave comments with any questions or additional thoughts. Thanks all.
