Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT) I: Distress Tolerance & Mindfulness

Using the Distress Tolerance curricula from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and relapse prevention frameworks, this group helps patients design plans for coping both in the short and long terms. This group helps patients link emotional triggers with concrete strategies to both prevent and reduce emotional and behavioral difficulties. Additionally, this group introduces patients to mindfulness topics that can help them build awareness of emotional states and help them to more effectively utilize skills overall.
