Dialectical Behavioral Therapy  is a form of training, counseling, and self-help all rolled into one with a cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approach. It is an evidence-based curriculum that has helped many people learn to navigate the difficulties of emotional dysregulation. 

This workshop will focus on people with the survival skills that allowed them to navigate abuse and neglect in childhood, addiction and trauma.  Many individuals suffering early abuse, neglect and trauma have come out of those years with the survival skills of a personality disorder and seemingly permanent emotional dysregulation. As Marsha Linehan proved with her own life, Borderline Personality Disorder can be managed and or corrected with CBT and mindfulness training. This is an introductory workshop that will draw from Marsha Linehan’s DBT skills book, and two other skills books for addiction and adolescents. This is an experiential workshop where participants will learn and practice DBT skills, being prepared to utilize them with clients the next day!

OBJECTIVES:
  • Develop a basic understanding of the neuroscience of emotional dysregulation that arises from neglect, abuse, and trauma. Learn basic and advanced centering, grounding, and mindfulness for treating emotional regulation.
  • Learn and discuss the basic philosophy, structure, and format of DBT for individual and group work.
  • Develop a skill set for teaching and monitoring DBT skills.

​​We look forward to seeing you there!
