Emotion Regulation skills include learning to identify and label current emotions, identifying obstacles to changing emotions, reducing emotional reactivity, increasing positive emotions and changing emotions. Interpersonal Effectiveness skills teach helpful strategies for asking for what one needs, saying no, and coping with interpersonal conflict.

    Great course- definitely explains DBT skills

    5.0

    Was very happy and I learned a lot. I co-lead a DBT Skills Training Group and wanted in-depth knowledge about each skill. This provided me with that and resources! Thanks I’ll be looking for the You Tube Channel.
