DBT Bootcamp 2024
As we move through 2024, it is crucial that we equip ourselves with the tools needed to tolerate what comes our way; good, bad, and everything in between. One way to do this is to acquire skills that can help us tackle life in a way that accounts for the highs and lows and in a way that is in line with our values. Whether you want to learn new skills or enhance already learned skills, DBT Bootcamp is a great place to start.
Our team is excited to offer another round of DBT Bootcamp for Summer 2024! This version of the DBT skills is designed to provide you with all the DBT skills in a shorter period of time – the summer! Each day, participants (ages 16+) will start with a mindfulness practice and then learn and practice skills from the modules: Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Various teaching methods, activities, and role-plays are used to encourage immersion and rapid skill acquisition.
Benefits of DBT Bootcamp:
Immersive Learning Experience: DBT Bootcamp offers an immersive learning experience, allowing participants to rapidly acquire DBT skills.
Focused Attention: Participants will receive focused attention from experienced DBT Clinicians, providing ample opportunity for feedback, clarification, and individualized guidance.
Immediate Application: Participants are encouraged to apply the skills learned into real-life situations, which can enhance retention and integration of DBT principles into daily life.
Structured Practice: Throughout Bootcamp there will be opportunities to practice the skills using experiential activities and role-plays to reinforce learning and develop an understanding of DBT skills.
Experiential Learning: Mindfulness exercises, distress tolerance practices, emotion regulation activities, and interpersonal skills rehearsal will enhance understanding and mastery of DBT skills.
We could go on for far longer than you’d like to read about the benefits of Bootcamp and we’re hoping you can see the value in such an opportunity. Whether you’re looking to refresh your DBT skills or learn new one to manage what life throws your way, DBT Bootcamp is a great place to start!
