My guest today is Rikke Kjelgaard. Rikke is a licensed psychologist, peer-reviewed ACT trainer, and author. Rikke is on a mission to help therapists thrive and to be brave and authentic helpers. Trained as a clinical psychologist, she has a 15 year background in the science of human behavior and the practice of behavior change. Rikke is a popular speaker internationally, and she is known to bring both passion and vulnerability to her talks. She transforms the lives of her audience by bringing evidence based strategies to her listeners in ways that are accessible and impactful.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

- Rikke’s background being on stage and how that informs her training style

- Her early experiences being trained by the ACT founders

- The difference between wounds and scars regarding self disclosure

- Cultivating willingness to sit in the darkness with others

- Bringing ACT skills beyond the therapy room and into our personal relationships

- And we discuss topics like, self-forgiveness, people pleasing, and being truly helpful
