WHAT:
RO-DBT is tailored for clients who need an irrational or excessive amount of control. RO-DBT focuses on receptivity and openness, flexible control to adapt to changing environmental conditions, and intimacy and social connectedness to form close, lasting bonds.
This therapy is most beneficial for clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Paranoia, Chronic Depression and Anxiety, and other areas where they need to learn to let go and be open to change.
If the client is experiencing difficulty expressing emotions, hyper-detailed or rule-governed behavior, distant style of relating, and high social comparison, they may benefit from an RO-DBT skills training course. At least one caregiver is required to participate weekly with adolescents in a skills training class.
How Does Group DBT Skills Training Work?
Interested participants are required to attend weekly individual counseling sessions while enrolled in skills training, either at Southlake or through an outside provider. An initial intake and a minimum of two pretreatment sessions are required to participate in any DBT skills training group.
Once in a DBT Skills Training group, participants will begin to discuss and practice the following topics:
- Distress Tolerance
- Emotion Regulation
- Mindfulness
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
- Middle Path Module
Groups will meet weekly for discussion and will be assigned homework after each session to practice newly-learned skills.
