Dbt provides an enriching experience through online skills groups tailored for residents of Washington State. Understanding that problematic behaviors often arise as coping mechanisms, she emphasizes that while these actions may offer short-term relief, they usually lack long-term effectiveness. Her weekly DBT skills training groups operate like a class, teaching participants new coping skills across four essential topics: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. Participants receive weekly assignments to practice the skills discussed during the sessions, all designed to aid in managing behaviors and emotions. These skills are instrumental in helping individuals effectively regulate anger and strong emotions, alleviate episodic depression, mitigate irritability or anxiety, cultivate peace in tumultuous relationships, and reduce stress and feelings of emptiness.
