Create Lasting Change
A letter from Dr. Steven C. Hayes and Drs. Gijs Jansen
There is a sense of uncertainty at the end of every therapy session.
Whenever our clients leave the room, we cannot be sure to have reached them with their problems.
We cannot be certain whether they will follow through with their exercises, whether they will apply what they have learned in therapy, or, more generally, whether the session has had the intended impact.
Only when clients return to their own life – where they are confronted by their daily routines and everyday challenges – does it become clear whether our work has been effective.
And unfortunately, this is exactly where progress often falls apart.
Outside of session, clients often…
- …struggle to translate lessons from therapy to everyday life.
- …fail to practice the skills that bring meaningful change.
- …misapply important exercises and relevant techniques.
- …resist changing their established habits and routines.
- …become disengaged from the therapeutic process.
This is not to blame the clients.
Rather, it is our responsibility as professionals – whether as therapists, counselors, social workers, behavior analysts, coaches, or other change practitioners – to empower our clients through their daily challenges, and provide them with the right tools and knowledge to create meaningful change.
Only, we are limited in our ability to serve by outdated methods and antiquated models.
Serving Clients to the Best of our Abilities
For more than half a century, psychologists have been holding on to a “medicalized” understanding of human suffering.
This means any mental health problem came to be seen as an expression of an underlying disease.
If you have a certain amount of symptoms for a certain length of time, you have disorder xyz.
And so we developed scores of categorizations and put people into labeled boxes.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was written, along with 400-pages of treatment protocols.
Evidence-based therapy itself became defined as symptom-focused, by-the-book interventions.
But even though the intentions might have been good, the results did not deliver what was promised.
Over the course of that half century, there is almost no evidence that we are getting better at producing outcomes.
And some of our best methods even seem to have a declining impact.
Rates of mental and behavioral health problems are skyrocketing, and people are not being helped with their individual needs and personal challenges.
Rather than treating people, the protocol-for-syndromes approach is treating disorders.
In order to provide effective therapy, we need to look beyond superficial labels and broad categorizations.
We need to look at the underlying mechanics of human suffering, and empower the individual at the source of their struggles.
We need to look at the deeper processes.
What Actually Helps Your Clients Make a Change
Over the last decade, a new vision of psychotherapy has emerged: Process-Based Therapy (PBT).
It contains a simple yet powerful idea, namely that every voice matters.
Rather than putting people into labeled boxes and treating them with broad manuals, we look at the person’s underlying processes, and start with their unique wants and individual challenges in mind.
This new process-based approach offers three important advantages:
Customize therapy to your clients’ needs
The process-based approach recognizes that individuals are unique and complex, with their own personal histories, goals, and circumstances. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the individual's specific biopsychosocial factors and tailoring interventions accordingly. By targeting individual client needs, this approach moves beyond rigid protocols and allows for more personalized and effective treatments.
Target the root causes that keep your clients stuck
Rather than relying solely on broad categorizations, the process-based approach places a strong emphasis on understanding and harnessing the underlying mechanisms of change. It seeks to identify empirically established sequences of change that occur over time and lead to desired outcomes. By focusing on these processes of change, practitioners can track progress, provide immediate feedback, and develop effective interventions.
Integrate practices from other evidence-based therapies
The process-based approach aims to integrate various evidence-based practices from different therapeutic orientations, schools, and interventions. It recognizes that effective treatments can be found across traditions and approaches, and prioritizes the individual needs of clients over rigid adherence to specific protocols. By organizing available evidence and identifying common change processes, this approach offers a more flexible and comprehensive framework for evidence-based therapy.
A Whole New Way To Practice Therapy
We are entering a new era of psychological intervention, in which we no longer put people into labeled boxes, or rely on one-size-fits-all solutions (that actually fit nobody).
Instead, we put the focus back where it matters: on the individual, in their own life.
By uncovering your clients' hidden processes, you can address their wants and needs more effectively, and facilitate change at the root level.
With treatment kernels – small exercises and interventions – you can disrupt your clients' dysfunctional patterns, nudge them in the right direction, and help them build habits that serve their personal goals and needs.
From week-to-week (and even day-by-day), you will target different processes as you adjust to your clients' progress and changing life circumstances.
This requires a different level of involvement, and a different level of care, which is simply not possible in mere 60 minute sessions.
With technological support, we can realize this process-based vision, bring mental health care into the 21st century, and help our clients more effectively than ever before.
This is a whole new way to practice therapy.
And it is why we created PsychFlex.

Unlock the Potential of Data-Driven,
Client-Centered Intervention
Conceptualize your cases with the push of a few buttons. Track your clients’ challenges and coping strategies, and learn how to help them create meaningful, positive change.
We teamed up with the Institute for Better Health – a nearly 50-year old charitable organization dedicated to better mental and behavioral health – to bring you MindGrapher.
This addition to PsychFlex allows you to track your clients’ coping strategies and challenges outside of session, and discover how they support or undermine them in achieving their goals or outcomes. By uncovering your clients' biopsychosocial processes in daily life, you will get to know them at a more personal level than ever before, allowing you to facilitate long-lasting, meaningful change.
Using advanced statistical methods powered by machine learning algorithms, MindGrapher reveals the important processes of your individual clients, and shows how you can intervene efficiently. You will just have a better sense of which interventions are most likely to have a positive impact – based on your clients' unique circumstances, personal needs, and individual interests.
By analyzing self-reported data, MindGrapher can tell you…
- What are your clients struggling with on any given day?
- Which coping skills are most effective for a particular client in a particular situation?
- Which strategies are less effective in dealing with unwanted thoughts and feelings?
- And are your clients actually getting better? Or do they slowly return to old habits?
Less guesswork. Fewer generalizations. Instead, MindGrapher reveals which processes are important for a particular client for particular outcomes, based on individual data.
How MindGrapher Works In Four Simple Steps
Step #1 Send out short assessments.
Your clients can answer the questions in 1-2 minutes by indicating the truthfulness of self-statements on a scale from 1 (not true at all) to 100 (completely true).
Step #2 Check your clients’ responses.
You can see how each individual item was answered, allowing you to get an in-depth view of your clients’ day-to-day well-being.
Step #3 Show the relation between processes and outcomes.
Choose two variables and turn their relation into a graph, allowing you to learn which coping strategies are most effective – for a particular person with a particular goal in a particular context.
Step #4 Adjust your strategy accordingly.
Based on findings from MindGrapher, you can help your clients practice strategies that have shown to be effective for them, improving practice outcomes and making your interactions with clients more efficient and more enjoyable.
MindGrapher will become independently available at the Institute for Better Health for $250 a year, but you can already fully access it inside PsychFlex at no additional cost.
Visualize Your Clients’ Lives with P.L.A.N.
Make sense of your clients’ cases with the Personalized Life Assessment Network (or PLAN) – without needing a diagnosis. Visualize their life as a dynamic network, and discover self-reinforcing patterns, hidden barriers, and opportunities for growth.
Take a look at the following network:
Here we have a person who is struggling with low mood, low self-esteem, and loneliness, which are being impacted by rumination and a recent breakup. All these elements influence one another in different ways. For this client that meant they felt stuck in place, trapped in their low self-esteem and rumination.
Once you have created a network, you can make better, more informed decisions:
- Where can you best intervene to disrupt unhelpful processes?
- Which processes are central to a client’s struggles?
- If one element changed what would happen to the overall network?
- Does this suggest how your clients can best incorporate new habits in their life?
PLAN helps you answer all of these questions and more.
Enter any number of relevant factors, and show their relation to one another, giving you a holistic picture of your clients’ context. You can even depict the strength of relations and display inhibiting factors. Create networks by yourself, or together with your clients in session.
This program was developed by the Institute for Better Health, and – just like MindGrapher – we brought it to PsychFlex at no additional cost to you.

So What Will You Get From This Virtual Summit?
Here’s what you will learn at the Expanding Psychological Flexibility Summit:
Introduction to Psychological Flexibility: An overview of the most important skill-set underlying everything science knows about what is helping people make effective changes, with an exploration of the expanded psychological flexibility model (Steven Hayes), the fundamentals of Relational Frame Theory (Gijs Jansen), the use of Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in primary care (Kirk Strosahl and Patti Robinson), individual variability in the effects of flexibility processes on well-being (Baljinder Sahdra), functional analysis focused on real-time detection and targeting of psychological flexibility processes (Lou Lasprugato), and the impact of psychological flexibility on social behavior (Andrew Gloster). Finally, a panel of experts will discuss the future of evidence-based interventions with idionomic approaches (Steven Hayes, Joseph Ciarrochi, Baljinder Sahdra, Christóbal Hernández, and Andrew Gloster).
Process-Based Therapy and Research: Experience the new process-based approach to mental health care, and learn why it makes the DSM obsolete (Steven Hayes), how it can unify therapeutic practices (Joseph Ciarrochi), its fundamental principles and application (Clarissa Ong and Eric B. Lee), and how PsychFlex & MindGrapher realize the process-based vision (Steven Hayes and Joseph Ciarrochi). Furthermore, learn how the Extended Evolutionary Meta Model can enhance prosocial interactions (Paul Atkins), and about an acceptance-based model of emotion regulation, grounded in evolutionary theory (Matthew Tull and Kim Gratz).
Technology and Innovations in Therapy: Discover cutting-edge tools and technologies that will guide mental health care into the 21st century, and learn how to integrate them into your practice (Michael Levin), how gamification and digital interventions can maximize therapeutic impact (Maria Karekla), and the impact of internet usage on mental health and well-being (Christóbal Hernández). How it can reveal unexpected insights about your clients (Billy Ryan and Trevor Jones), and how its daily application along with PsychFlex can enhance therapeutic outcomes (Timothée Basson).
Clinical Applications and Interventions: See how the new process-based approach is applied across different settings and for clients with particular psychological ailments. Learn how to better support your clients to overcome anxiety (Dennis Tirch), help them improve their quality of sleep (Guy Meadows), develop personalized interventions for trichotillomania (Mercedes Woolley, Michael Twohig, and Michael Levin), and support individuals with cognitive decline (Susan McCurry and Claudia Drossel). Furthermore, learn how to individualize treatment for clients with chronic pain (Lance McCracken), help them build resilience in a time of global crises (Viveka Ramel), promote self-accepance and reduce unhelpful self-concepts (Joseph Oliver), and explore the benefits of non-attachment for mental well-being (Joseph Ciarrochi and Baljinder Sahdra).
Cultural Diversity & Youth: Discover how you can better support your clients from particular populations, facing unique challenges and obstacles. Learn how you can address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Kenneth Fung), how fostering intimacy and vulnerability can help marginalized groups, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals (Matthew Skinta), how to tailor interventions when facing racial trauma (Jennifer Payne), indigenous perspectives on psychology flexibility and living a good life (Louis Busch), and how to address resistance to sociocultural perspectives with ACT (Kenneth Fung and Yukie Kurumiya). Finally, learn how to support parents with psychological flexibility (Brianna Kauer), how to address self-harm and suicidality in young people (Louise Hayes), and how to guide younger generations in times of social media (Ben Spaloss).
Featured Sessions
DAY 1 – Introduction to Psychological Flexibility
The psychological flexibility model has been shown to be able to address more than half of all processes of change that we know explain the impact of evidence-based intervention for mental and behavioral health. That is true not just of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Training, but also of a range of evidence-based methods. With a slight expansion, however, the psychological flexibility model can be used to link together virtually all processes of change at the psychological level, and to inform processes of change at the sociocultural and biophysiological level. In this talk, I will explain how that expansion can occur by threatening the coherence of the model itself, allowing researchers and practitioners more flexibility in being able to target particular goals for particular clients.
Steven C. Hayes, PhD, is Foundation Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno and is President of the Institute for Better Health – a 47-year old charitable organization dedicated to better training in mental and behavioral health care. With 47 books and nearly 700 scientific articles published, Dr. Hayes is one of the most cited psychologists in the world as he continues to innovate in the field of psychology.
DAY 2 – Process-Based Therapy and Research
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM) is an experiment in the use of syndromes (signs and symptoms) as a means of discovering disease entities. It has failed to do so. In this talk, I will explain why that failure was pre-ordained, and why a process based approach gives us the best available alternative to create rapid progress in the promotion of human mental and behavioral prosperity and the alleviation of human suffering. The data that are now rapidly emerging from a process based approach make it very clear that idionomic analysis (analyses of processes and outcomes at the level of the individual that are then scaled to nomothetic generalizations) and the normative categories of the DSM are incommensurable. Said simply, a process-based approach will ultimately kill the DSM. I will explain why and what can replace it.

He has published more than 165 scientific journal articles and many books, including the widely acclaimed Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Life and The Weight Escape. He is ranked in the top 1% of scientists in the world across all disciplines, and he has been instrumental in the development of Process-Based Therapy, which cohesively integrates various therapeutic change processes and interventions, aiming to enrich therapeutic practice and tailor interventions to individuals.
DAY 3 – Technology and Innovations in Therapy
Much research in clinical psychology and psychiatry still targets mainly specific diagnoses. But we help people with their problems and benefit from knowing what processes are involved to achieve change. In this talk I will present examples of studies and programs on problem-specific and tailored digital approaches. Teaser: Loneliness can be reduced and people can decide what they like to work with.
Gerhard Andersson, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist and full professor at Linköping University, Sweden. He is a specialist on tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and also a world leading researcher on internet-delivered psychological treatments for a range of disorders and problems.
DAY 4 – Clinical Applications and Interventions
We all know that exposure and response prevention is said to be the Royal Road to freedom from anxiety, but what does that really mean? Together, we will learn how cultivating compassion, courage, and psychological flexibility can help us transcend the group of anxiety with or without mirror exposure. Let’s find the active ingredients and processes inside exposure-based therapy packages, so we can be free to innovate, create, and improvise new solutions for our clients and ourselves!
Dr. Dennis Tirch is the founding Director of the Center for Compassion Focused Therapy in New York, an acknowledged expert in mindfulness and compassion based behavior therapies, the author of several books, and a Dharma Holder in Zen Buddhism.
DAY 5 – Cultural Diversity & Youth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness and values-based intervention to increase psychological flexibility with the potential to address current DEI issues, ranging from external and internal stigma to discrimination and other forms of social justice. This brief workshop will discuss how ACT may be used for this purpose. Before delving into this application, it is essential to reflect on how sociocultural factors are inherent in every clinical encounter. It is a form of “cultural blindness” that leads us to view these factors as “special interest issues" relevant only to certain subpopulations. In fact, common practices and techniques used in ACT are deeply rooted in cultural assumptions and context. This workshop will engage clinicians in reflecting on how sociocultural issues are embedded in their daily lives through their own history and context. Additionally, it will explore approaches to consider these sociocultural issues in the clinical use of ACT.
Dr. Kenneth Fung is Staff Psychiatrist and Founder and Clinical Director of the Asian Initiative in Mental Health Program at the Toronto Western Hospital, University Health Network. He is Professor and Director of Global Mental Health with the Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto. His research, teaching, and clinical interest include both Cultural Psychiatry and psychotherapy, especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
The Live Recorded Seminars
During these recorded sessions we will dive deep into the future of process-based intervention with a team of world-leading experts, and show you how to maximize your therapeutic impact with PsychFlex, MindGrapher, and PLAN. Learn to skillfully apply and integrate cutting-edge strategies and technologies into your practice – with live demonstrations, real-play, and time for Q&A.
Featured Sessions
This open discussion between Rick Hanson and Steven Hayes, will explore how process-based approaches can contribute to solving human problems and promoting human prosperity. Processes such as compassion and mindfulness have a proven impact on mental health issues, but the implications of that success may have an even broader reach. These two leaders, with expertise in evidence-based psychotherapy and in linking modern neuroscience to wisdom traditions, will consider how we can use a process-based focus to better marry modern technology to the needs of people worldwide. They will explore such issues as how to address biopsychosocial needs more comprehensively, how to go beyond existing models of care, and how to address the uniqueness of people in ways that will create more rapid human progress individually and socially.
Rick Hanson, PhD, is a world-renowned clinician, best-selling author, and thought leader in the exploration of the implications of contemporary neuroscience for processes of change that uplift people. He is a Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, and the founder of the Global Compassion Coalition and the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom. His seven books have been published in 33 languages.

What Members Are Saying
“Homework compliance has improved dramatically! My community of humans is asking for more homework for the first time in 25 years! I love this app!”
- Holly B. | USA
"Psychflex helps me organize the use of exercises and videos and allows me to easily refer back to them in session. The tool prompts me to emphasize the concepts of psychological flexibility and extend the work beyond the session. Using it as a delivery system gives me more time to discuss how the client worked with the exercises and understood the concepts. And I appreciate how easy it is to upload my own exercises and prompts."
- Michael C. | USA
“I am finding the app so useful in my clinic. Just to give a small example, I am giving a lecture tonight related to the stress and trauma that we're facing in Israel the past two weeks, and there are so many elements that I am going to share from the app. You really changed my clinic to a much organized and psychoeducationally place.”
- Nissim A. | Israel
"The app has enabled me to up my game as a coach. In addition to the 1-to-1 support, I can now offer my clients a more tailor-made and evidence-based experience in-between sessions. As a result, I feel more connected to my clients but also more empowered and effective. I can actually see if clients engage with the material on PsychFlex and it has overall made my offer as a coach more unique, experiential, and tangible."
- Nick R. | Wales
“I love the app! I especially like being able to record a 1 minute video after a client session as a reminder of new learnings. Great way to transfer what is learned in the clinic space to clients home, work, and play spaces.”
- Jen | Australia
“I find PsychFlex to be an awesome app that helps me and my clients every day by incorporating process-based psychological interventions. Before using this app, it was time-consuming to organize and share resources and interventions with my clients.

Closing Thoughts from Steven C. Hayes and Gijs Jansen
As therapists, we try to empower people and provide them with the tools to create meaningful lives.
While this ambition may be honorable, it is just as difficult to realize.
Because when our clients leave the room, we cannot be sure to have reached them with their problems.
We cannot be certain whether they have fully understood the lessons from therapy, whether they will apply the techniques they have learned, or whether they are prepared to meet their everyday challenges.
Even more, we cannot be certain whether we are providing our clients with the most effective care available… at least not with the traditional therapy model.
We are entering into a new era of psychotherapy, in which we can no longer rely on protocols for syndromes or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Rather than putting our clients into labeled boxes, we need to look at their underlying processes, and start with their unique wants and individual challenges in mind.
We need to uncover how our clients’ struggles are maintained on a day-to-day basis, and how their everyday choices relate to their goals and needs.
This is simply not possible in mere 60 minute sessions.
We have been on a process-based journey for over a decade, but now we finally have the technological support to realize this vision.
PsychFlex allows you to reach into your clients’ lives, and provide them with the right care for their individual goals and personal challenges.
It is filled with the most effective tools and interventions that evidence-based psychology has to offer, allowing you to keep your clients engaged and motivated outside of session to facilitate lasting, meaningful change.
If you are working with people, aiming to promote prosperity and mental well-being, then PsychFlex is for you.
We hope you will join us inside the app, as we enter this exciting next chapter in clinical psychology.
One that is more personalized, more involved, and ultimately more effective for our clients.
It’s time for a whole new way to practice psychotherapy!
