DBT Skills: Adolescent 4:30-5:45, Adult 6-7:15
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based treatment for impulsivity, suicide attempts/self-harm, emotional instability, & addiction. DBT says a client's primary problem is emotional vulnerability and difficulty regulating emotional responses. Ongoing "emotion dysregulation" impacts relationships, coping skills, clear thinking under stress, and a stable sense of self. These 16 weeks focus on Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. DBT teaches "radical acceptance" of self, the need for change, & skills to build a life worth living. Adolescents: Monday/Thursday 4:30-5:45; Adults: Monday 6:00-7:15 *Facilitator: Susannah S.
