DBT strategies
DBT strategies are designed to help individuals develop skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and developing an awareness of one's thoughts and feelings without judgment. Distress tolerance focuses on developing coping strategies to manage difficult emotions and situations. Emotion regulation is focused on helping individuals understand and regulate their emotional responses. Interpersonal effectiveness focuses on improving communication and relationship skills.The multistage approach of DBT
The multistage approach of DBT is based on a hierarchical model of treatment that consists of four stages: pre-treatment, the foundation stage, the intermediate stage, and the advanced stage. The therapist establishes a robust therapeutic relationship with the client in the pre-treatment stage. In the foundation stage, the therapist teaches essential mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness coping skills. In the intermediate stage, the therapist helps the client apply these skills to specific problems or situations. Finally, in the advanced stage, the therapist works with the client to achieve their long-term goals and develop a sense of mastery over their emotions and behaviours.Who is this course for?
