Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group

Sobriety Solutions offers a skills based DBT group which started on April 1, 2019. Individuals are given the opportunity to have working knowledge of what DBT therapy can offer. Group is held once a week and is focused on learning about Dialectics and Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation and Distress Tolerance. At the beginning of each group, group members participate in a mindfulness exercise and diary card review. Group then focuses on each module of DBT therapy with an emphasis on DBT skills. Individuals are encouraged to identify skills that they believe would be most beneficial for them and to practice these skills in group and on their own. This program is a 12-week program allowing three weeks for each of the four DBT modules. Group members are asked weekly if skills were implemented and if these skills were effective for them. Interaction and discussion in group is encouraged
