About DBT Intensive Training
The Dialectical Behavioral Therapy® (DBT®) Intensive training is a weeks-long opportunity for clinicians to become oriented to the foundational concepts of DBT as well as strategies for integrating these practices into clinical work. In this five-day program (30 total CE's offered) we cover the content offered in our individual programs: DBT Part 1- Becoming a Competent DBT Therapist; DBT Part 2- Becoming Competent in the Skills; and DBT Part 3- Helping Clients Move from Chronic Chaos to their Life Worth Living. Participants will have an opportunity to learn these concepts, practice applying these skills themselves, as well as role-playing and practicing methods for incorporating them into their sessions.
Purpose:
The purpose of this program is to introduce clinicians to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy® (DBT®) and grow their understanding to an intermediate level, where they will be comfortable incorporating DBT® concepts into their clinical practice. DBT® is a cognitive-behavioral treatment modality developed by Marsha Linehan. DBT® applies a wide range of cognitive and behavioral approaches to the symptoms exhibited by the client, resulting in decreased problem behavior and increased healthy coping strategies. DBT® was originally created to treat chronically suicidal clients who were diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, it was the first psychotherapy found to be effective with this population. Since its inception, DBT® has been extensively studied and has been found to be an effective treatment option for numerous axis I disorders including depression, bipolar, ADHD, domestic violence, self-injury behavior, substance abuse and eating disorders. Mindfulness is a centuries old, holistic treatment option that yields consistently research-validate benefits for all mental health complaints.
