A guided companion series to the Unified Protocol client workbook

Join Dr. Clair Robbins (co-author of the workbook and co-director of the Unified Protocol Institute) and Dr. Stephen Gage (organizational psychologist and educator) for a video series that mirrors the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders client workbook.

Stephen brings a unique perspective as someone who discovered the UP independently, completed the client workbook himself, and now brings that lived experience to his clinical work.

In this chapter-by-chapter video series, Clair and Stephen explore each skill through thoughtful, practical conversations that bring the material to life. Whether you’re a client using the workbook independently, a therapist integrating it into sessions, or a trainee learning the model, this series offers clear guidance on what each skill is, why it matters, and how to use it effectively.

In this course, your clients will…

1

Understand the structure,

purpose, and core ideas behind the Unified Protocol
2

Identify how emotions function,

and how avoidance can make them worse
3

Practice present moment awareness

and nonjudgmental emotional observation
4

Increase cognitive flexibility

by recognizing and shifting unhelpful thought patterns
5

Build and sustain habits

that support long-term emotional well-being
