Let’s Dive into DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed by Marsha Linehan in the 1970’s. While it has initially used for those with borderline personality disorder, or suicidal ideation, it is now used to help anyone improve their ability to regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress and effectively navigate relationships and everyday life.
So let’s learn how to improve our relationships,
Live more in the moment,
Feel calmer during conflict,
Find healthy ways to cope with stress, and
Be more present…for ourselves and our relationships.
This DBT group teaches you the skills to be your best self in your relationships.
