About DBT

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioural therapy that aims to assist people to live in the moment, regulate emotions, cope with stress and have healthier relationships with others. 

About Emotion Regulation

This course focuses on developing skills to help you identify emotions, understand their purpose and processes, and manage uncomfortable emotions and urges. This module teaches the skills for increasing our options to effectively manage and/or accept the difficult situations which life presents to us.

How the course is structured?

This DBT course teaches specific skills across the core learning modules. There is a strong focus on practising new behaviours and skills while engaging in DBT treatment as a way to gain relief and experience positive change. 

The online materials will provide you with the learning content, and then you will come together weekly to practice those skills and solidify your learning in our group workshop. The skills you will learn in this online course are highly effective, in fact, it is the DBT skills modules that have been shown to be the most effective part of DBT.

For our group sessions to be most effective, we require minimum number of participants to go ahead. If we have not reached minimum numbers by the date of the first session, we will let you know and offer a full refund or alternative dates.

Please note a comprehensive DBT treatment program would also involve sessions with an individual therapist. If you don't already have a therapist you are working with, please enquire with our Intake team.
