Dedicated therapists continually seek research-based treatments and strategies to assist clients manage difficult situations that life brings. When a person does not have sufficient emotion regulation skills to weather tough times, the outcomes can often get even worse. This presentation offers an opportunity to learn more about DBT and when these tools could be useful for some of your clients.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a program for people who seek the skills to take control of the emotions, thoughts and related behaviors that are making their lives or relationships more difficult. How well we are able to regulate or adjust our emotions and deliberately focus our attention is directly related to success in achieving our goals and sustaining healthy relationships with our families, friends and in the workplace. DBT programs for adults and adolescents are demonstrating success in reducing suffering by focusing on the development and strengthening of skills to improve emotional, behavioral and cognitive stability.

We hope you’ll join us for an overview of the approaches used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist clients:

Learn skills to regulate emotional responses in difficult situations;
Understand the difficult balance between when to accept what is and when we must change in order to meet our goals; and
Learn skills required to change life patterns, habits and choices in order to reduce unrelenting crisis and suffering.
