FAQs
Is this course self-paced?
Yes, each module will open up after you have completed the previous module. No waiting a week between each section!
Will this course turn me into the best therapist in the world?
Nope. But it will show you how applicable and easy to use the ACT Matrix is for treatment planning, collaborative problem solving, and committed action.
Are CEs offered for this course?
Unfortunately no. On the plus side, no hard post-test!
Will I have life-time access to this course?
Yes. You can access the course any time forever.
Are the videos subtitled?
The videos are captioned in English.
I've done training with Kevin Polk, Benji Schoendorff, or others, will I learn anything new?
Yes, there's quite a bit that is new and different about the way I use the matrix with clients. At the same time, nothing here should conflict with what you've learned before.

Hi, it's me, Jacob Martinez, from TheACTmatrix.com, and Through the ACT Matrix.
With the explosion in online learning it was only a matter of time before someone made a course like this about the ACT Matrix. I figured, why not let it be me? This course does something that has never been done before—believe it or not—no footage exists of the ACT Matrix being used in real sessions. . . until now.
In this course I'll show you how the ACT Matrix works inside and out, and you'll see first-hand how easily clients can utilize it out in their daily lives.
I hope you enjoy this course as much as I did making it.
Respectfully Submitted,
