SPEAK ON THE PHONE,
Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amidst the storm… Moving
beyond binary thinking: what are dialectical and non-dualistical truths? FEES: ·
$70 per 90-minute group. ·
New students pay $1,215.00 (includes one intake session). ·
Continuing students pay $980.00. · Checks or Credit Cards accepted for payment. Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs): ·
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy? · What are the DBT Fees and Refund Policy? Years ago, I used to collect weekly fees, but then people
would come and go “when not in the mood to show up” and there was no
commitment. Paying in full motivates participants to have “skin in the game”
and the group quickly becomes more cohesive, producing successful results and
powerful transformations. ·
How long is each
module? We cover all four
modules in the course of one year, during three 14-week trimesters, for a
total of 42 weeks. (We skip holidays, school breaks and Holy Days.) Each group session is 90 minutes. · How many students are in each
group? All
DBT groups need a minimum of six participants, and
have a maximum of 12 participants. ·
Can I read reviews of this program? Yes, here
are some REVIEWS
from former and current DBT students.
There are also videos
with former students. ·
What are the five steps to DBT
enrollment? ·
What is the Open Enrollment Period? The Open
Enrollment Period (OEP) allows participants to join up to four weeks
after first group session started. |
DBT Spring/Summer Semester "If
you can recognize and accept your pain without running away from it, you will
discover that although pain is there, joy can also be there at the same
time." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh,
No Mud, No Lotus 🌀🌀 Ongoing
Adult Evening DBT Group Please save these dates in your May 16, 23, 30; 🌀🌀 Make up days: In addition,
please reserve three make-up days, August 22, 29 and September 12 to
allow for possible sick days/energy black outs/no Wi-Fi or other disruptions
– for we will just extend the sessions to these dates to make up for the gap
if we need it. For adults who like
to learn and seek to gain mastery in Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance,
Interpersonal Effectiveness and Emotion Regulation skills for peak
performance in all areas of their life. We cover one module
per trimester. It takes one year to
complete all three modules, although it is not required to sign up for the
year. You can register for each module
separately. This is a highly
structured academic program, with weekly handouts, worksheets
and gentle goal setting. Between classes,
students are willing to commit to 5-10 minutes/day of DBT Skills practice.
Students learn to share their feelings in relation to the DBT skills they are
practicing. This is not group
therapy, where one person may talk for 30 minutes. Everyone gets a chance to speak, and we are
mindful of the fair use of the time.
Enrollment is limited to 12 students. Space is limited, please enroll early!
You must have
completed at least 70% attendance each semester (10 sessions) in order to gain entry to the Advanced Group. Please
contact me if you are interested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
