Tuesday Skills Class:
Tuesday 4:30-6:30pm
NEXT OPENING: September 5th - September 26th (no class on September 12th)
Format:
Groups are taught telehealth only.
Skills are taught in a two-hour class. The first hour is homework review, the second is new material.
Skills are presented in three modules; each module starts with two weeks of mindfulness teaching and training.
The modules are Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Skills and Emotion Regulation.
Methods of teaching include didactics, modeling of skills by group leaders and in group practice.
The length of the class is either six months if you take the curriculum once, or one year if you repeat the curriculum a second time. Your therapist and your group leaders can help you decide if you need to repeat for full integration (this is more often the case than not).
The material is repeated to increase practice with each module, often the 2nd time through people find that they understand and can utilize the new skills in their lives much more successfully. As with any other new skill, it takes repeated exposure to the material and practice, practice, practice for the new habits to be able to be fully integrate. It is a bit like learning a new language or a musical instrument, though we promise not to keep you in class for decades :-).
This class is taught in the classical format and is open to all students of every gender. New students will enter throughout the year during the Mindfulness section of the course so there are always newer and older students in the class. As a newer student you will have an opportunity to hear from older students of their progress and experience. This is a rich and often inspiring part of the class for many. This class accepts students who are 18 years of age and older. Every cohort of students is unique as participants in the class change from year to year and throughout the year as people graduate and new students start. This offers opportunities for welcoming newer faces and also practicing saying goodbye.
