Must read!
This book is a must read for any therapist who wants to work with emotionally dysregulated clients in a time-effective fashion...It is so well organized that any clinicians could use it off the shelf to deliver a highly effective emotion regulation treatment! The brief, structured, highly practical emotion efficacy therapy (EET) approach is clearly described—step by step—and integrates mindfulness, acceptance, and emotion processing strategies drawn from different therapy models in a masterful way. Each facet of EET is demonstrated via therapist-client dialogues, which make the concept come alive clinically. There are tons of patient handouts, worksheets, and other useful clinical tools.

Jacqueline B. Persons (EET Book)
This book is a gift to me—and to my patients.
I learned a ton of super-helpful things from reading this book! Written by truly brilliant clinicians, it provides an easy-to-use set of concepts and tools. I love the progress monitoring scales, the transcripts of delivering the interventions, and especially the description of emotion exposure procedures. We often tell our patients to ‘sit with’ their painful emotions. I’ve frequently wondered what that meant and how to do that exactly. This book’s description of the skills of emotion surfing gives me the information I’ve been seeking.

Martin M. Antony (EET Book)

The strategies laid out in this well-written, accessible, and practical guide will show clients how to experience a full range of emotions while reducing their pain and suffering. Each chapter is filled with illustrative case examples and practical worksheets that make it easy to deliver the program.

Rochelle I. Frank (EET Book)
A ‘must’ for therapists, supervisors, and trainees
This highly practical and timely treatment flows naturally from the transdiagnostic literature, and offers therapists a clear, step-by-step guide to helping clients improve their awareness of and ability to cope with strong emotions—an important aspect of successful therapy outcomes. Every page is clear, concise, and to-the-point, allowing clinicians to quickly grasp the treatment rationale and master the protocol. The illustrative dialogues and accompanying worksheets reflect the authors’ expertise in translating techniques into practice with actual clients, which is supported by the robust initial outcome data. A ‘must’ for therapists, supervisors, and trainees attempting to treat multiple problems simultaneously using a transdiagnostic approach.

I highly recommend this book.
Based on sound, evidence-based principles, this book presents a straightforward approach to helping individuals who struggle with intense emotions with few resources or skills to manage them.

Joan Davidson (EET Book)
This is the book that clinicians have been waiting for!
This is a refreshingly straightforward and practical resource for clinicians seeking to integrate components from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to target specific transdiagnostic mechanisms underlying problems with emotion regulation. Instructive handouts and sample therapist-client dialogues bring treatment components to life. Clinicians now have a resource that strategically guides them when helping clients increase awareness and acceptance of emotions, choose value-based actions, and practice distress tolerance skills, all within an exposure-based model.

That Dr. West does both therapy and coaching--and can really speak to coaching--makes her trainings a rare and valuable opportunity for coaches.
On top of her gift for creating systems, Dr. West is adept at both teaching and demonstrating how to work functionally and flexibly with clients. While there are other trainings available to coaches that are led by psychologists, few are also versed in coaching. That Dr. West does both therapy and coaching--and can really speak to coaching--makes her trainings a rare and valuable opportunity for coaches who want to help their clients using contextual behavioral science applications.

Dr. West is engaging, skillful and dynamic. I highly recommend her training.
Dr. Aprilia West is a very engaging, skillful and dynamic trainer. I primarily work from a psychodynamic/attachment lens but was interested in adding some CBT skills to my repertoire. Dr. West incorporates a balance of didactic-style teaching and experiential exercises—both as a larger group and in dyads— which helped me stay present, consolidate what I was learning, and gave me a chance to apply the new knowledge immediately. She also made great use of clinical and personal examples to facilitate the learning. Even with my limited CBT experience I found this training to be relevant, accessible and applicable to my clinical work. I would highly recommend Dr. West’s training to anyone working with clients who struggle with low emotion efficacy.
