Let's Talk: DBT Introduction Week 1

An Introduction to DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) 💜 DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, is a type of therapy that helps us better understand, manage, and regulate our emotions. It teaches practical skills to cope with difficult feelings, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and become more mindful of our thoughts and actions. DBT helps us learn healthier ways to respond to life's challenges rather than reacting based on overwhelming emotions. DBT is about learning that we can accept ourselves as we are while still working toward positive change. It's not about being perfect or never struggling; it's about developing the tools to navigate difficult moments, find balance between our emotional and logical minds, and build a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling. Progress, not perfection. 💜 This will be a weekly group as we work through the book. We will cover one topic per week. We will be using DBT Skills training handouts and worksheets revised Edition by Marsha M. Linehan. Please bring a pen or pencil and a notebook to class.
