Portland DBT Institute

It's not every day that you get to learn from someone directly trained, supervised, and mentored by Dr. Marsha Linehan, the founder of DBT! There is still time to register for next week's comprehensive training led by Dr. Linda Dimeff: DBT for People with Substance Use Disorders. This training will leave you with practical skills to improve your work with BPD-SUD clients and gain insights into managing Opioid Use Disorder. Walk away with evidence-based strategies, DBT skills unique to Substance Use Disorders, and approaches for tackling complex clinical challenges. Dr. Dimeff does not lead trainings as often anymore, so don't miss this opportunity.

During my master's studies, I developed a strong interest in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Recently, I attended a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) webinar by Portland DBT Institute on Emotional Dysregulation and Addictive Behavior, focusing on DBT and its BioSocial Model. This training provided valuable insights into the predisposing factors of emotional dysregulation, its manifestations in daily life, and how DBT effectively addresses these areas.

Last few weeks to register!
