Group details
Learn DBT skills online in a supportive group environment led by a team of experienced psychologists & DBT trained therapists.
Skills include;
- Mindfulness practice: teach you to become more aware of the present moment. You learn to focus on one thing at a time, without judging yourself or others.
- Distress tolerance: When difficult situations arise, instead of reacting in ways that can make the discomfort worse or result in getting stuck in thought patterns that don’t help you process the situation, distress tolerance teaches acceptance and constructive ways forward. .
- Interpersonal effectiveness: Learn the skills to create healthy relationships while taking care of yourself. Interpersonal effectiveness includes working through conflict, listening well, and clearly asking for what you need.
- Emotion regulation: Emotion regulation skills help you to identity, understand, express, process and move through your emotions without crisis or anxiety.
