Full course description

Course Description 

This free, 1.5-hour training features one module with an edited recording of a live CareLine Development Training series session that was first held as a Zoom Webinar on September 21st, 2022. 

This workshop is designed to introduce DBT distress tolerance skills for practitioners working with highly dysregulated, crisis-oriented clients. The role of behaviorism in reinforcing maladaptive behaviors will be highlighted. In addition, the importance of using validation and how to use validation to de-escalate individuals will be presented. Several distress tolerance skills will be taught, including distraction, self-soothing, IMPROVE the moment, pros and cons, the STOP Skill, and finally the TIP skills. Lastly, practitioners will learn DBT strategies to use when misuse of phone coaching occurs.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the six levels of validation in DBT.
  • Apply distress tolerance skills to highly dysregulated clients.
  • Differentiate which distress tolerance skills to use and under what circumstances.
