Description

DBT is one of today’s most in-demand treatments, trusted by countless clinicians to provide their clients with the skills they need to manage their emotions, overcome their distress, and create positive change.

Whether they’ve been diagnosed with trauma, anxiety, depression or any number of the conditions you see in your office each day, DBT empowers clients to navigate the challenges of everyday life and relationships so they can heal, grow, and achieve their goals.

And it’s all done from a skills-building perspective that moves you away from change-based models that can feel overwhelming or unattainable for clients.

Now you can take home over a dozen of the most powerful skill-building exercises from DBT in just one training.

  • Give clients the skills they need to create positive emotional connections with others
  • Improve communication and boundary setting skills with clients
