Navigate the Complexities of Human Connection with Dialectical Precision
The final piece of our core series focuses on the "Social Life" of the client. Interpersonal Effectiveness in DBT isn't just about "social skills"—it’s about the sophisticated balance of obtaining objectives, maintaining relationships, and preserving self-respect. This workshop equips clinicians with the tools to help clients navigate conflict, set boundaries, and build a social environment that supports their recovery.
What We Will Cover:
Skills for Getting Needs Met (DEAR MAN): Master the gold standard of assertive communication. Learn how to coach clients to describe, express, and negotiate effectively to obtain their goals without damaging relationships.
Skills for Building Relationships (GIVE): Explore the "GIVE" skills (Gentle, Interested, Validate, Easy manner) to help clients decrease loneliness and build a supportive "community of reinforcement."
Skills for Maintaining Self-Respect (FAST): Learn to teach the "FAST" skills, ensuring clients can stand up for their values and remain truthful to themselves while navigating difficult social pressures.
Advanced Interpersonal Strategies: Move beyond the acronyms to explore complex clinical applications, including balancing priorities vs. demands, assessing interpersonal conflict through a dialectical lens, and skillful problem-solving in high-stakes relationships.
