    Technology-Assisted DBT: Distress Tolerance Module starts in Littleton on September 19, 2019!

    August 29, 2019

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group will be continuing with Distress Tolerance on September 19, 2019!

    As you may already know, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) represents some of the world’s best coping skills all in one place. A wealth of evidence demonstrates DBT’s effectiveness in reducing anxiety, depression, and even the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder for which it was developed. Divided into modules for Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness – with Mindfulness integrated throughout – the Distress Tolerance module will be facilitated for 8 weeks, starting September 19, 2019.

    Facilitator Eric J. Blommel, MA, MFTC uses apps for diary cards, distributes worksheets as PDF files, projects materials on a screen during the group, and encourages the use of phones, tablets, and laptops. Feedback from veterans of other DBT groups indicates that integrating DBT reminders and tracking into existing daily technology use is helpful and convenient.

    What is DBT Group Therapy?

    DBT group therapy arms you with an arsenal of tools that improve emotional intelligence and assists you in dealing effectively with previously challenging situations. DBT skills improve emotional resiliency and seek to eliminate self-defeating behaviors.

    More about DBT

    Dialectical-Behavior Therapy is one of the most empirically researched therapy modalities for treating people who suffer from significant emotional dysregulation and prolonged relationship difficulties. First conceived in the 1980s, DBT was systematically designed to help people build concrete, practical skills for mindful self-awareness, emotional development, stress management, and the cultivation of a baseline of well-being.
