Format:
The classic DBT skills curriculum will be modified in this group. Over the course of a year you will learn all of the skills typically taught in DBT. You will be taught the Core DBT Skills including Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Skills. However, rather than repeating that curriculum you will also be taught many of the additional skills that were included in the 2nd Edition of the Client DBT Skills Handbook developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan that in most skills group's we just cannot get to.
These include additional Mindfulness Practices such as Loving Kindness and Being vs Doing Mind as well as Mindful Self Compassion to treat disconnection with the self and self hate. This skill might also be thought of as Opposite Action to Self Hate.
In every section of the DBT skills manual there are skills we never explore, this class will offer that opportunity.
In addition, we will go over how to develop new habits that align with your values so you can build that life you have been wanting to build despite mood changes.
Jess and Cristina are excited to offer this modified format of the DBT skills curriculum and to co-create a space with you that is welcoming and supportive for your learning.
