Mindfulness skills in DBT are an essential component of the therapy and foundational to the acquisition and application of all other DBT skills. When delivering DBT in both individual and group settings, therapists are encouraged to integrate mindfulness through informal and formal guidance. In this webinar you will learn how to avoid common mistakes when leading and debriefing mindfulness practices and discover best practices for promoting self-inquiry, skills development, and affective and attentional regulation. You will explore tips to optimize the facilitation of both informal and formal mindfulness practices through a trauma-informed and embodied approach. This webinar is for those who are interested in developing more meaningful and effective guidance in their mindfulness facilitation, through the lens of DBT principles. This is suitable for both DBT and non-DBT practitioners and DBT skills group facilitators who lead mindfulness in their therapeutic work.
