Empowering Clients with DBT Emotional Regulation Skills (2HR)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is often used to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Did you know that the core four DBT skills are also useful for clients who do not have BPD? This webinar will introduce learners to the philosophies and tenets of DBT and highlight one of the four core skills, emotional regulation (ER). Clinicians will discover methods of integrating this DBT-based skill with clients. Explore ER skills such as acceptance/change, ABC, and PLEASE skills. Participants will have increased confidence and knowledge in implementing DBT-informed emotional regulation skills with a variety of clients.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Explain emotional regulation skills within the DBT model
• Identify at least three emotional regulation skills to use with clients
• Discover the value of integrating DBT-informed treatment with clients to improve their emotional regulation skills
