Distress Tolerance is one of four modules that make up Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Distress tolerance skills help individuals tolerate and survive crisis situations without making things worse (crisis survival skills), especially when one cannot make the situation better right away. Distress tolerance skills also teach individuals how to use acceptance as a tool to reduce suffering and build a life worth living (reality acceptance skills).

Building Strong Relationships group
Building Strong Relationships starts with understanding what makes healthy relationships work. This group is for anyone seeking to strengthen their romantic partnerships, troubleshoot their approach to dating, deepen their friendships, or find more connection within their family. We will focus on learning what makes certain relationships thrive while others are rife with conflict and disconnection. Then, we will learn skills to make conflict more productive, increase positive interaction, and create more meaningful connections. Focusing on the research and relationships skills developed by the Gottman Institute, this evidence backed group is filled with resources you can use to build strong relationships in your life.
