What happens in the skills training group?
The agenda we usually follow is: 1) group mindfulness exercise; 2) homework review; 3) new skill learning and discussion; 4) homework/practice assignment for the week; and sometimes 5) another mindfulness exercise. For a good description of what DBT is like from one participant’s perspective (though not a Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy DBT client), visit http://www.growingstrong.org/mental/dbt.
