This course is part of a previously recorded webinar titled "Calming the Emotional Storm: The Essentials of DBT for Emotionally Dysregulated Clients." This course provides information on the origins of DBT therapy and the Biosocial Theory that explains how pervasive emotion dysregulation develops. Participants will learn about some of the research demonstrating the efficacy of DBT in treating disorders other than BPD. The course provides information on dialectics, the importance of balancing validation with it, how to effectively use validation to help clients re-regulate emotions in session, and how to teach clients to practice the skill of self-validation.
