Description

Have you picked up a few DBT skills over the years, but without fully understanding what makes this way of working so different and powerful? Research has shown DBT is highly effective with high-risk clients who present with a range of complex problems. Because it integrates techniques from other popular approaches, many DBT strategies can be woven into clinical frameworks and methods you're already comfortable using. In this workshop, you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of structuring an individual DBT session to help foster change for even the most complicated clients. You’ll explore:  

  • How DBT is distinguished from other approaches to therapy 
  • Twelve sets of DBT strategies used in individual therapy sessions with high-risk clients 
  • Twenty-six specific DBT interventions that can be integrated into your treatments for complex trauma, suicidality, personality disorders, and more 
  • How to reinforce your current go-to interventions with DBT-based skills
