TEEN-FAMILY DBT SKILLS GROUP - St. Louis DBT.

Teach your clients to use interpersonal effectiveness skills as a part of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This handout summarizes three skills related to interpersonal effectiveness including objective, relationship, and self-respect effectiveness.

The skill descriptions, exercises, discussion points, and homework assignments reflect a deep understanding of the developmental problems and needs of teens and their parents. The skills are put into everyday, understandable situations, making this an incredibly useful manual.

DBT is more likely to work for you if: You're committed to making positive changes in yourself. You're ready to work hard at therapy, and do homework assignments. You're ready to focus mostly on your present and future, rather than your past.

Skills Practice and Homework Skills presented in the class are either practiced in class or assigned to practice at home. The ONLY way DBT can be effective is if parents and teens do the practice between sessions. You don’t go to the gym once a week to meet with a trainer and then expect a magazine-cover body in 6 months.

Emotion Regulation Skills Group for Teens A 12-week, DBT-informed skills training program What is the Emotion Regulation Skills Group? This is a structured skills training program informed by a therapeutic approach called dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT).It is designed to help you learn skills to cope with overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsivity and the behaviours associated with it, as.

The DBT skills modules include: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path. Adolescents attend a weekly 90-minute group session that starts with a mindfulness practice followed by homework review of what was taught in the previous week.

The DBT skills group is run very much like a class or a seminar. It meets once per week for ninety minutes. Participants are provided with notebooks that reinforce the skills taught in group. Homework that corresponds with the DBT skills taught in a particular week is assigned and reviewed.

We provide DBT skills training groups for adults, teens, and families. We are now opening our DBT skills training groups to clients with outside therapists.
