DBT Skills Classes

We follow a strict protocol for class. We begin on time, and open with a brief mindfulness exercise to orient ourselves to where we are and what we’re doing. Next comes the opportunity to share how you have applied what you learned last week. This is hugely important as it shows others a way of learning they may not have thought of, or validating that sometimes using skills can be both difficult sometimes but also very effective! We will do a brief review of last week’s skills and questions before launching into new material. For example, Week 4 is a continuation of Distress Tolerance skills. Students have brought their Self Soothing boxes and describe what’s in them and how those items are soothing. A new skill is Awareness of Current Thoughts and Emotions. This is unpacked and examined in detail, and ways to apply it in real life are explored. 

Classes run for 12 weeks, after an orientation period, and followed by the “deep dive” for 6 weeks afterwards.
