Pause & Practice

Dr. Gold will provide an overview of core mindfulness skills as taught and practiced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and its adolescent adaptation (DBT-A) with teens and their caregivers. This talk will demonstrate how DBT provides concrete strategies for practicing mindfulness even (and especially!) when emotions are quick, intense, and long-lasting, as is the case when working with families with high levels of emotional and interpersonal dysregulation.
