“All people at any given moment are doing the best they can” - Marsha Linehan

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a proven, evidence-based approach that empowers individuals to manage intense emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. In this webinar, participants will explore the foundational concept of dialectics, the idea that two seemingly opposite truths can coexist, and discover how this principle shapes the structure and success of DBT.

In this webinar you will: 

• Discover the origins of DBT
• Identify the types of clients who can benefit most from DBT
• Understand the four core pillars of DBT: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness
• Learn practical skills from each pillar that you can apply in therapy or daily life
