Our carefully curated groups and workshops provide a nurturing environment where individuals can connect, learn, and grow together. Join us as we explore various topics and develop valuable skills to enhance your overall mental health.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (dbt) group – 10 weeks
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or DBT is a group, therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices, emphasising acceptance and change as key components of treatment. The therapy focuses on helping individuals find a balance between acceptance and change; acceptance of your current circumstances and emotions whilst working towards making a positive change in your life.
Our DBT group is designed to support individuals who struggle with emotional regulation, interpersonal conflicts, and self-destructive behaviours. Led by experienced therapists, this group provides a safe space to learn and practice essential DBT skills, such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
Program:
- Weeks 1 – 3: Distress tolerance and mindfulness
- Weeks 4 – 7: Emotion regulation and mindfulness
- Weeks 8 – 10: Interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness
This is a closed group (which means once the course begins, no new participants can join in) that runs once a week for one and half hours for 10 weeks. The closed group creates a safe environment in which to build trust and grow. Participants have to attend and pay for all 10 weeks. Participants attending DBT do need to have weekly individual therapy for the duration of the course. This therapy can be with a psychologist not working at AwareHub.
