DBT Skills Training

Introduction to Using DBT Skills in Practice.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that combines strategies like mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, it is now used for various mental health conditions, emphasizing the balance between acceptance and change. This 2-session course provides an understanding of DBT and when/how to use specific coping skills in practice.
