Description

DBT transforms the way you do therapy – moving you from a change-based model to one of skill-based learning. And applying a DBT approach to trauma treatment can help you get to the very core of how your clients think about life and emotions, so they can make tremendous strides in therapy. Katelyn Baxter-Musser has taught thousands of clinicians to use DBT in their practices for improved treatment outcomes. Join her in this session and discover evidence-based DBT tools you can use to keep clients grounded, help them become more tolerant of their triggers, and increase their emotion regulation. 

CPD
