Dialectic Behavior Therapy Training is designed in four modules, including:

  • Core Mindfulness Practices and Cultivating Wise Mind: This is a developing awareness of reality as it is, pushing away nothing, learning a non-judgmental stance, fully entering into the present moment.
  • Distress Tolerance: This is a set of skills to use when faced with personal distress. Practices include Distracting, Observing the Breath, Half Smile, and Basic Principles for Accepting Reality. In this module, you will develop a Tool Kit for Self Care and Acceptance.
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness: In this module you will learn skills to get what you want, to maintain and improve relationships, and to maintain your self-respect.
  • Emotion Regulation: This set of skills deals with understanding emotions, evaluating your emotional state, increasing positive emotions and decreasing vulnerability to negative emotions.

Created by Dr. Marsha Linehan, this therapy is originally designed to treat the pervasive Personality Disorder known as Borderline Personality Disorder. Proven highly effective as a treatment modality, DBT Skills can help people suffering from other mental and emotional problems, such as Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Bipolar Mood Disorder, Eating Disorders, and other self-destructive behavioral problems.
Kathy has completed Foundational training in DBT and have co-taught DBT Skills Training Groups at a local Community Mental Health Center. Kathy teaches and reinforces these skills in individual sessions with clients. Kathy is certified in Dialectic Behavior Therapy by DBTNCAA.
