Content Description:
Perinatal mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and stress, can significantly impact the well-being of both expectant and postpartum individuals. DBT, known for its emphasis on mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, offers a powerful therapeutic framework to address these challenges.
This training is designed to equip therapists with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively apply Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques in the treatment of perinatal mental health concerns. This includes a review of both the theory behind DBT, and examples of how to use and apply many of the core DBT skills.
The instructor will provide real-life examples of how to tailor DBT concepts to address the unique concerns of the perinatal period. This includes an explanation of how the biosocial model applies to pregnancy and postpartum, and a deep dive into the complex skills of radical acceptance and dialectical thinking which are critical for all parents.
