Monday Mindfulness Group Starts 14-Week DBT Series

Every Monday night I lead a 90-minute mindfulness group from 8:00-9:30 PM. Starting May 2, 2016 we are beginning a 14-week dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) series. DBT is a highly effective offshoot of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that integrates somatic and emotional components.  DBT teaches clients four types of behavioral skills, including: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation.  Learning these skills helps reduce levels of stress and anxiety, improve brain processing, sleep patterns, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.  It can even decrease the impact of depression and support weight loss goals.  

By providing practical tools in this safe, small group environment, you are able to feel at ease and equipped to take steps of progress wherever you are at on your journey.  Everyone is encouraged to participate for the entirety of the series, though even if  you can come for just one week to experience mindfulness and DBT you will get a useful tool, concept, or experience that you will benefit from.  This is an experiential group, so individuals do not share personal experiences, but rather participate in conversations and practices surrounding each topic.  

The skills in the group are referenced in Marsha Linehan's DBT Skills Training Manual. This is an invaluable resource and reference guide for learning and practicing DBT skills. I've had many clients flip to the index of the book when they are in freak-out mode to find a skill to help them effectively navigate it. There is a link to purchase the book on my website: http://www.drsandypeace.com/shop.html​
​or you can pick it up at most bookstores.

I want to wholeheartedly extend the invitation to you to join us for the Monday Mindfulness Group DBT series, starting this week and running for the next 14 weeks. Please call my office at 323-432-0676 to reserve your space, and plan to be at the US Bank Tower 26th Floor Conference Room at 633 West 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA. 90017 from 8:00-9:30 PM this Monday night.  

I look forward to meeting you there and sharing a magical, mindful experience together.

Thank you for sharing this piece, a very informative one about DBT.
I know that it might not be usual or common to everyone but sharing a piece like this really spreads the word and make people understand the ones who suffer with it.

A Gold IRA rollover is the process of transferring funds from a traditional retirement account, such as a 401(k) or IRA, into a self-directed IRA that allows investment in physical gold and other precious metals. This strategy helps diversify retirement portfolios and provides a hedge against inflation.

A treatment facility for troubled youth offers intensive support for adolescents facing significant emotional, behavioral, or social challenges. These facilities are equipped to handle complex issues like defiance, substance abuse, trauma, or legal trouble. The goal is to create a safe, structured space where young people can stabilize, gain insight, and learn healthy coping skills through therapy, mentorship, and education.
