DBT Skills for Psychosis (5-session course)

Effective, person-centered treatment for psychotic spectrum disorders using dialectical behavioral therapy

There's a serious gap in clinical tools for treating psychosis.  

As a result, many clinicians feel a deep sense of inefficacy and even hopelessness when working with clients whose lives are derailed by psychotic spectrum disorders. 

But what if you had simple strategies to help clients respond more flexibly and adaptively to psychotic experiences? 

Workshop where Polyvagal Theory meets ACT!

An one hour workshop intermediate level by Ph. D. Amy R. Murrell about where Polyvagal theory and ACT meet. Amy will give brief definitions of the key concepts in polyvagal theory as viewed through a functional contextual lens. She will then give some examples of how ACT techniques can be chosen and utilized based on nervous system state as a contextual variable. The importance of clinician and client co-regulation will be emphasized throughout this hour-long presentation.

Substance Use Disorders in Context: Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Reduce Substance Use Stigma and Promote Meaningful Change

About the workshop:

In the US in 2021, 46 million individuals struggled with substance use disorder. Approximately 108,000 human beings died from drug overdose. Over 100,000 human beings died from alcohol-related causes. Yet, among the tens of millions people struggling with substance use disorder that year, only 6% received any kind of treatment. These numbers are not aberrant; they are the “new normal”.
