Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 1464

SPECIAL TOPIC night -- "DBT Self-Help Skills (Dialectical Behavior Therapy; this is NOT therapy" -- (part 1 of 4) Tonight's show will be a Discussion/ Workshop on Mindfulness Skills where we will discuss and add our own experience with the topic to learn to be present, aware of ourselves, and aware of our actions. In following weeks, we will discuss Distress Tolerance Skills ( being present while experiencing distressing emotions), Emotion Regulation Skills, and Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills. The goal is to learn skills, or add and share our skills, to manage anxiety, panic, depression, self-harm thoughts, and reduce dissociation (avoidance), and increase our effectiveness when interacting with people. I invite everyone to come and share so we all learn more together. Article: DBT Self-Help Skills, Mindfulness ~~ This series of special topic shows will give us an opportunity to share information and experience with each other as we continue on our healing journey. The moderator will be Jacque LaFountaine RN, retired, who has been actively recovering from childhood abuse and trauma for 25 years. "When I started therapy, I learned that childhood abuse and trauma was affecting every area of my life, but there was very little information on what issues needed to be addressed or how to address them."
