Groups
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Structured group suitable for people with a Borderline Personality Disorder. I will also be offering clients who do not have BPD, a skills group using the principles of DBT The skills are life lessons which can be used for understanding anger, grief and loss, love and more. We will also be offering groups focused directly at understanding emotions, their use and and how to make them work for you. An example of this is the use of the term 'anger management', one I particularly dislike. Mainly because it is impossible to 'manage' something you do not understand.
