Foundation: RO-DBT Skills Class

Service Description

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is a transdiagnostic treatment which targets a spectrum of disorders characterised by excessive inhibitory control or overcontrol (OC). It is intended for clinicians treating clients with such chronic problems as refractory depression, anorexia nervosa and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. RO DBT treatment involves both individual treatment sessions and skills training classes, and clinically targets five OC themes: inhibited and disingenuous emotional expression; hyper-detailed focused and overly cautious behavior; rigid and rule-governed behavior; aloof and distant style of relating; and high social comparison and envy/bitterness. 10 Weeks Leeson 1 - Radical Openness Lesson 2 - Understanding Emotions Lesson 3 - Activating Social Safety Lesson 4 - Enhancing Openness and Social Connection via Loving Kindness Lesson 5 - Engaging Novel Behaviour Lesson 6 - Tribe Matters Lesson 7 - Social Signaling Matters Lesson 8 - Using Social Signaling to Live by Your Values Lesson 9 - Envy & Resentment; Cynicism, Bitterness and Resignation Lesson 10 - Learning to Forgive
