DBT Skills Peer Support at 7:00p; Pay As You Can
About this Event
DBT covers four areas of study and we are now in the emotional regulation module. There is also a Facebook community group for members to keep in touch between meetings. This is a group open to people who have taken DBT before and for newbies, for people with many diagnosis, or none. I believe that DBT skills are really just life skills, and are useful for anyone struggling to manage their emotions during Covid, or any other life situation. I think family members who support people with addiction or mental health challenges would also benefit greatly from learning the skills. I have been practicing and studying DBT for the last ten years, and I am a certified peer specialist but I do want to emphasize that I am not a registered DBT therapist, so I ask that people not join if they are in crisis. This is a DBT skills peer support. We will spend the first third of the group talking about how we are doing, the next third talking about skills, and the last third brainstorming about how we will apply our skills over the next two weeks.

What is DBT?
DBT stands for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and it is a type of skills class that teaches mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. In other words, how to be in the present moment, how to have better relationships, how to regulate moods yourself, and how to tolerate distress so that intense feelings do not turn into a crisis. It also teaches how to consider life from a perspective of both and, instead of all or nothing.
