 DBT is an interactive class teaching skills to be more effective in all aspects of your life. DBT is an evidenced based practice that brings calm to chaotic relationships; decreases unwanted behaviors; and teaches processing emotion through understanding of your emotions.  The class is 18 weeks, broken into three 6-week modules: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness skills are taught in all modules.
