Clients with chemical dependency and dual diagnoses oscillate
between being overwhelmed by internal processes (emotions,
urges, body sensations, PTSD flashbacks) and experiencing--or
inducing--emotional numbness.
Both of these extremes involve a clear divergence from
mindfulness, and both lead to relapse.
The dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) coping skills give
practical information and exercises for clients in their efforts
to navigate effectively between being overwhelmed and
emotionally numb.
This workshop provides an introduction to the DBT coping skills
and to the core DBT concept of mindfulness.
Specific skills will be reviewed and demonstrated through
experiential exercises.
Learning Objectives
-
Discuss the concept of mindfulness and how it
provides a foundation for recovery from chemical dependency
and mental illness.
-
Learn and be prepared to teach 3 "Adaptive Distraction" DBT
skills to chemically dependent and dually diagnosed clients.
-
Learn and be prepared to
teach 3 DBT skills for increasing tolerance of internal
processes in chemically dependent and dually diagnosed
clients.
Robin Day, LPC has been intensively trained in Dialectical
Behavior Therapy and practices independently in metro Atlanta.
She has taught the DBT coping skills to a variety of
clients in groups and individually for over 13 years.

Important Information About Our CE Policy:
Ridgeview’s policy for issuing continuing education credits is
based upon State Law and guidelines set forth by the Georgia
Composite Board which state that “participants must attend the
entire presentation in order to receive continuing education
credit.” If you are more than 15 minutes late in arriving for a
seminar, you will not be allowed to enter until the first break.
You will be welcome to remain for the balance of the
presentation, but we will not be able to issue continuing
education credits to you as a participant. This is according to
agency regulations requiring attendance at the entire
presentation in order for CEs to be issued. This policy
applies to early departures as well – if you leave more than 15
minutes early, we will not be able to issue CEs for your
participation. We will also not be able to issue you a
refund for the registration fee, since we have a stated refund
policy and we will have already counted on your presence in
planning for the seminar. We instituted this policy in an
effort to cut down on unnecessary interruptions during the
presentation and to ensure that our accreditation to offer CEs
is not put into jeopardy. It is our goal to continue to provide
you with quality, reasonably priced opportunities to acquire
credits needed for your license renewal. Please plan to arrive
early or on time for these events. We offer refreshments for
your enjoyment before each seminar.
