Radically Open DBT is a new evidence-based treatment that targets over-controlled coping, rigid behavioral responses, and emotional inhibition. ‘Self-control’ is usually seen as a good thing. However, too much self-control can cause difficulties. A growing body of research shows that excessive self-control is associated with problematic relationships, hyper-perfectionism, chronic depression, social anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive traits, and autism spectrum disorders. (Lynch, 2018). This in-person class introduces 30 skills of psychological health, including flexibility, openness, and fostering healthy connections. Learn and practice the principles of Radical Openness with intensely trained RO DBT therapists.

This group offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where participants learn to build trust within themselves and others, strengthen self-esteem, and develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with their bodies. No prior horse experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to grow.
