My Mirror Education Series - Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Alongside the exciting opportunity to connect and share with fellow psychologists in the digital mental health space, this event will feature a special guest speaker, Courtney Riggs - Registered Psychologist.

An Introduction to Dialectical Behaviour Therapy:

DBT is a modified version of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which helps individuals learn to manage emotions by helping them recognise, experience and accept them. DBT is effective for those individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, and those who engage in harmful behaviours like substance use, disordered eating, unstable relaitonships, self harm and more as it examines and helps individuals understand why they might harm themselves, and are therefore better able to challenge and change those harmful behaviours.

This 1-hour webinar will provide:

* A brief overview of the model

* Outline its most powerful treatment strategies

* Participants will also see case studies highlighting core therapeutic components of DBT and how this model can be used to support clients.

This event counts for required PD registration requirements.
