Trauma Focused DBT Group

Trauma Focused DBT Group

Trauma Focused DBT Group is geared towards helping individuals heal from complex PTSD and overcome barriers to intimacy. The group challenges the unhelpful patterns, fears, and anxieties that arise in relationships, which make it difficult to get our needs met. We learn skills from DBT for PTSD and other trauma treatments specifically designed to help people learn to cope with symptoms of C-PTSD, in combination with elements such as:

• trauma sensitive yoga and mindfulness practices
• psychoeducation on C-PTSD
• peer support
• intimacy building exercises in dyads

Online Skills Training Groups

DBT Skills Group is another way for clients to develop the independent coping skills they need while working with others doing the same. Individuals are welcome to participate in the skills group without taking part in a full DBT program, however, clients engaged in life-threatening behaviors must also be in individual therapy.

This program includes four skill training modules:

• Core mindfulness skills ­– to control the attention and to experience the present moment more fully
• Distress tolerance skills – to tolerate painful and/or stressful events and emotions without escalating situations
• Emotion regulation skills – to identify and modulate emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them
• Interpersonal effectiveness skills – to express beliefs and needs, set limits, and negotiate solutions to problems while protecting relationships
