Dr. Jody Hoffman and Dr. Jade Kobayashi will give part II of the presentation on RO DBT with practical skills and how to implement RO DBT strategies with clients. RO DBT is an evidence-based treatment that targets disorders of overcontrol (i.e., excessive inability to inhibit urges, impulses, delays gratification, and focus emotions inward). In their previous seminar, they provided an introductory overview of Radically Open DBT, including the rationale for its development as well as its general treatment structure. In this follow-up seminar, they will provide experiential practice with key Radically Open DBT strategies. Participants will learn to Practice exploring "Edges" in RO DBT - with clients and with yourself as a clinician, practice key "heat on" and "heat off" strategies and activate client's social safety system, and examine and develop flexible mind skills.
