312 Mindfulness And Surfing Edialectical Behavioral Training

Middle Path reinforces skills related to validation and self-validation, chain analysis of behavior, dialectical thinking, and core mindfulness. Freddi Friedman, PhD, a nationally recognized expert, serves as Clinical Consultant for Cathedral's DBT program. For more information, contact our Intake Team at (312) 252-9500 x130. Week 1 - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Certificate Course. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has evolved from the go-to treatment for borderline personality disorder to one of the most recognized and sought after therapies for a variety of difficult to treat client problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the treatment most closely associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Support Groups practice DBT in both individual and group sessions. As a Mindfulness-based psychotherapist trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I wholeheartedly embrace this quote, yet at times it seems impossible to achieve. Just as a surf instructor would not send a beginner out into a 10-foot swell, I would also not expect a novice mindfulness student to stay centered in the midst of an emotional storm.

Course Description:
By popular demand, you can now learn “just the skills”.

You don’t have to be a Dialectical Behavior (DBT) therapist for your clients to benefit from the DBT skills. Learn 85 DBT skills in just 2 days.
This workshop is intended for any therapist, from expert to novice, practicing any model of treatment – from psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and more. You and your clients can benefit from learning 85 practical DBT skills. Skills training is the primary mode of DBT that yields promising results with your client. According to Dr. Linehan, DBT founder, “What counts are the skills.” (Linehan, 2011)
Designed to enhance the client’s capabilities to change, dialectical behavior therapy teaches clients four major sets of life skills:

Core Mindfulness Skills (what do you do and how do you become mindful)
Distress Tolerance Skills (crisis survival skills)
Emotion Regulation Skills (increasing emotions to feel that life is worth living)
Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills (assertiveness training while maintaining relationships and self-respect)

DBT skills training is considered the easiest mode to implement in a variety of settings. These skills are now being taught to clients who suffer from self-harm, treatment-resistant depression, eating disorders, substance abuse and addiction – in addition to borderline personality disorder.

Join Dr. Vaughn and learn how to pick and choose which skills are the most appropriate for your client population and how to teach them. The research now informs us that DBT skills alone work. Objectives:

Integrate the theory and techniques of DBT into your clinical practice.
Teach DBT skills in the areas of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Integrate DBT skills for individual and group therapy treatment.
Utilize DBT skills for treating mental health symptoms, chemical dependency and complex co-morbidity.
Demonstrate mindfulness techniques to make mindfulness more understandable and acceptable to others.
Articulate a variety of strategies for teaching DBT skills to clients.
Recommend how to seamlessly integrate DBT skills into individual therapy.
Discriminate the DBT model from cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and other treatment modalities.
Practice a multi-layered approach to validation of clients’ thoughts and feelings.
Demonstrate the distress tolerance skills that will help clients survive crisis situations and learn how to not act on urges.
Communicate interpersonal effectiveness skills and the importance of increasing and maintaining positive relationships in clients’ lives.
Demonstrate through discussion and exercises how to bring the DBT skills into a treatment plan to move the client toward behavior change(s).
