What This Group Is

The Skills Builder Group is a structured, small-group therapy experience focused on teaching practical CBT and DBT skills. Each session combines guided learning, discussion, and real-life application. This is not just a processing group — it is designed to help you build tools you can use immediately.

In This Group We Will Cover

Week 1: Orientation & Foundations

We begin by establishing group safety and introducing the foundations of CBT and DBT. Participants learn how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, explore the balance of acceptance and change, and begin identifying automatic thought patterns through basic mindfulness skills.

Week 2: Emotional Awareness & Regulation

This week focuses on understanding how emotions develop and how to manage them more effectively. Participants identify triggers, challenge common thinking traps, and practice practical emotional regulation tools.

Week 3: Distress Tolerance

Participants learn strategies for handling intense emotions without making situations worse. DBT crisis survival skills and CBT behavioral activation techniques are introduced to support more skillful responses during stressful moments.

Week 4: Interpersonal Effectiveness

This week centers on improving communication and boundaries. Participants practice assertiveness skills and DBT interpersonal strategies to express needs clearly and strengthen relationships.

Week 5: Problem Solving & Coping Flexibility

We introduce structured problem-solving steps and flexible thinking strategies. Participants learn to balance acceptance and change while responding thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.

Week 6: Integration & Relapse Prevention

In the final week, participants review key skills and create a personalized plan for continued growth, helping maintain progress beyond the group.
