Description of Trainings
Mindfulness skills teach the technique of recognizing when the mind is caught up in a thought and drawing it back to the present experience. DBT Mindfulness skills teach non-judgmental present-focused awareness, which increases the ability to attend to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (without engaging in judgmental and often self-invalidating thoughts which contribute to emotion dysregulation).
Interpersonal effectiveness skills teach techniques that are helpful in situations where intense emotions may be present, and the objective is to ask/request something or set a boundary/say ”No”. Interpersonal Effectiveness skills teach techniques that assist in getting needs met effectively (without damaging the relationship or self-respect).
Emotion regulation skills teach understanding and naming emotions, changing unwanted emotions, reducing vulnerability, and managing extreme conditions.
Distress tolerance skills teach how to survive an immediate emotional crisis without making it worse. Distress tolerance skills use the concept of “Radical Acceptance” to help accept reality as it is (as opposed to denying or fighting reality, which contributes to emotional distress). These skills can be seen as “crisis survival skills”, and are helpful to manage emotions that may feel “out of control”.
