DBT for Non-DBT Therapists

Presented by Marielle Berg, LMFT

2 CEs available

Free for Marin CAMFT members and reciprocal chapter members!

Workshop Description

This presentation introduces the DBT model to non-DBT therapists so they can gain a deeper understanding of who DBT is for and how the treatment works, as well as learn some key DBT Skills that can be applied right away.

The difference between comprehensive and DBT-informed therapy will be discussed, helping clinicians understand when and if to refer to comprehensive DBT, when to refer an individual client to a skills training group and when and how to integrate DBT skills into the work they are already doing with clients.

Specific skills from the four skill modules will be taught and workshops participants will gain both an intellectual and experiential understanding of key DBT skills that they can choose to integrate into their clinical work. Come ready to learn and practice skills together as the best way to teach the skills to clients is to use them yourself first.

Educational Goals

The goal of this workshop is to learn the basic principles of the DBT model and to understand how to utilize specific DBT skills in individual therapy sessions.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

  1. Define the basic assumptions and elements underlying DBT

  2. Define emotional dysregulation, including how systems of power and privilege impact experiences of emotional dysregulation for those with marginalized identities.

  3. Assess which populations benefit most from DBT including how sexism, racism, heterosexism and other oppressive structures influence assessment
  4. Explain the 4 skill sets in DBT: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Distress Tolerance
  5. Apply Interpersonal Effectiveness skills to help clients learn to communicate more effectively in relationships
  6. Apply Mindfulness skills to help clients learn how to be present, rather than lost in the past or worrying about the future
  7. Apply Distress Tolerance skills to help clients learn how to tolerate distressing emotions
