DBT Skills training is similar to being in a classroom or doing online learning.

• It is NOT group therapy. This means you are not expected to share your challenges in detail, nor is it a place to work through traumas or emotions. In fact, you do not have to participate more than you are comfortable with.

• The goal of the group is for you to learn concrete and practical skills that you can immediately use in your everyday life.

• You will learn at least one skill every week in four areas: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

• Counselling can increase your awareness of emotional pathways, triggers, and long-standing patterns of coping. 

• It is a place to learn about the brain and more specifically, how yours works.

• Overall, counselling can improve your ability to function in all areas of your life.
