"I deeply appreciate that Priscila is a rising leader in the Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) community. She is a highly intelligent, compassionate and powerful woman who deals exquisitely with complex concepts. She is a terrific role model and mentor for the next generation of students. It is a privilege and a joy to have Priscila as a member of our worldwide FAP community!”
Ph.D. Mavis Tsai, Clinical Psychologist at Independent Practice and University of Washington, co-creator of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP).“Priscila Rolim's FAP course was... life changing, I think that's the word that best defines it. I could never imagine that an online course with a few weeks of length could cover so much content and achieve such depth, intimacy and connection. These 8 weeks of learning were developed with a warm and compassionate emotional context, and Priscila knew how to manage in a way that evoked the best of each participant. It was a unique experience that only increased my interest in FAP and my respect for Priscila as a teacher and psychotherapist. It is an essential course for all psychologists interested in Contextual Behavioral Therapies.”
Maria Paula de Aguiar Fracasso, Psychology student from the last period of the Centro Universitário de João Pessoa – UNIPÊ.“I had the opportunity to discriminate what are my most important values throughout the course. I was encouraged to understand the FUNCTION of some of these behaviors in order to modify them! This FAP course was very important during this period of my life, and I am quite sure that I do not leave these 8 weeks, the same way I started. And so does "psychologist Helena"! No doubt that this FAP course was the best investment I have made recently!”
Helena Borini Amorim, Psychologist, Specialist in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Vitória, CRP 16/3357.“It was a particularly transformative experience to participate during these eight weeks training, conducted in a highly competent manner by Priscila, where we were able to concentrate on our clinical practice, based on the fundamental principles of FAP connection. I felt that I was able to enhance my repertoire as therapist by becoming more attuned and connected to clinical experience, aligned with a functional view, and learning to courageously nurture my clients' progress. It is an essential course for all those who wish to experience FAP in clinical practice and to challenge each other compassionately and improve their intervention skills. Loved it!”
