DBT Core Mindfulness Skills Workshop

New Course — We just added this course 26 days ago. Please let us know if you have any feedback about it.

About the Course:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a treatment originally created to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). In recent years it has been increasingly used to treat many other disorders because of its usefulness in treating clients who struggle to manage emotions. This webinar, led by Sheri Van Dijk, will explore how this treatment can be used in your work with clients facing a broad range of conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, in which emotion dysregulation plays a key role; and strategies to teach these skills to your clients. Sheri is known for her humor and down-to-earth style, and her ability to de-mystify DBT, making it less intimidating and more user-friendly for clinicians to learn and incorporate into their practice. This webinar will provide an overview of the DBT Core Mindfulness skills. Participants will learn about these skills, including the States of Mind, the “What” skills, and the “How” skills. The discussion will be around how to teach these skills to clients struggling with emotion dysregulation.

This course is based on the , DBT Core Mindfulness Skills Workshop created by Sheri Van Dijk, MSW, RSW in 2022.
