I’m excited to announce that we are hastening slowly to transform the world from the inner to outer, one DBT student at a time…
Lisa Wessan, LICSW, DBT Skills Trainer
Up next: we will be exploring “Emotion Regulation and Mindfulness Skills” from January 23 – April 23, 2024 in the Zoom Classroom. (All registration forms, intake sessions and tuition fees must be completed by January 19, 2024).
The Emotion Regulation module has four sections:
- Understanding and Naming Emotions
- Changing Emotional Responses
- Reducing Vulnerability to “Emotion Mind”
- Managing Extremely Difficult Emotions
The Mindfulness material includes:
- Learning to be a good observer
- Being non-judgmental
- Staying in the present
- Practicing being effective
- Accessing “Wise Mind” (aka higher self, higher consciousness)
- Understanding Reality Acceptance and detaching from negative or critical thoughts.
As DBT founder Dr. Marsha Linehan says, “It is difficult to manage your emotions when you do not understand how emotions work. Knowledge is power.”
During this 14-week program:
- You learn to cope better with social anxiety issues, negative thinking and stop falling into the Blame Game.
- You learn to abstain from the Compare and Despair syndrome.
- You practice “Face it, trace it and erase it” as you work the DBT Skills and grow stronger and wiser with effective emotional regulation and self-expression.
- You learn to access “Wise Mind” and regain your center, remain calm. You learn to take a stand for your inner peace, and become bulletproof to bullies, others’ judgments and negative, invalidating remarks.
- You learn to practice Radical Acceptance, as needed, and problem solve when possible. You are no longer living with victim consciousness.
