This course introduces you to the foundations of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a proven approach for managing emotions, reducing stress, and improving relationships. You’ll learn what makes DBT unique, who it can benefit, and the core principles that guide its use.
You’ll explore four essential skill areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Each skill is taught step by step through practical techniques, including Wise Mind, TIPP, Opposite Action, and DEAR MAN. These tools are designed to be easy to understand and apply, helping you build routines that support balance, resilience, and healthier communication.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a toolkit of DBT skills that you can use to manage difficult emotions, cope with stress, and strengthen personal and professional relationships. Whether you want to enhance your own well-being or better support someone close to you, this course provides practical strategies to make a lasting, positive difference in your daily life.
