Information
People who struggle to regulate their intense emotional experiences often feel like they are at the mercy of reactive coping patterns. It can seem like these emotional storms hijack their behaviour, take control of their thinking, and hurt their relationships with other people and themselves. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides concepts and skills to help people have more choices, become more emotionally calm, and be more present in their lives. This workshop explores key concepts and useful skills such as tolerating distress, managing emotions, and enhancing interpersonal communication. Participants will discover which populations can benefit the most from DBT, and gain an understanding of concepts, strategies, and tools that can be applied to their work.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, participants should be able to:
- Identify what dialectical behaviour therapy is, who it benefits, and how it is implemented
- Describe the dialectical approach
- Explain the importance of validation and practice using validation skills
- List change strategies in DBT
- Explain and implement skills from the four modules of DBT
