Mindfulness: a term that nearly every therapist is familiar with. It is a fabulous tool for therapists in sessions, and often an effective prescription for any client. Yet, the thing about mindfulness is it’s not a skill that can be understood solely by instruction; it needs to be lived and practiced regularly. For therapists, it’s easy to lose sight of our own mindfulness practice with the busy-ness of life, but when that happens, what is the impact? In this 6 hour training series, Kathryn and Shaelene provide teaching on the topic of mindfulness, and support for therapists in establishing, maintaining, and enhancing a personal daily mindfulness practice. These webinars will provide in-depth instruction on the Core Mindfulness Skills as taught in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Furthermore, this course will explore the broader paradigms of mindfulness primarily from a Buddhist perspective, including concepts of non-attachment, interconnection/interdependence, and impermanence. Participants will be asked to consider their own personal commitments for ongoing mindfulness practice, and instructors will provide direction and troubleshooting for common challenges that arise for dedicated practitioners of mindfulness. Participants can expect to leave this training with not only a deeper understanding of mindfulness skills, but also the framework for a personal practice that will assist their clinical work, decrease burnout and increase feelings of contentment. Note: This training meets criteria for the formal mindfulness training requirement needed for those applying for DBT-Linehan Board Certification.

Autistic individuals often struggle with emotion recognition, regulation, suicidality, and self-harm. In a society prone to invalidating their experiences, they face chronic traumatic invalidation and shame, sometimes responding with masking and camouflaging behaviors, exacerbating emotion dysregulation and suicide risk. DBT, guided by biosocial theory, offers promising avenues for improvement. Recent research indicates DBT skills training can aid Autistic individuals, with ongoing studies exploring enhancements for accessibility, effectiveness, and harm prevention. Dr. Amara Brook and Rachel Kraus combine lived experience of being Autistic with intensive training and experience providing DBT to Autistic clients. They highlight ways to recognize Autistic clients and to modify DBT to optimally help Autistic clients move toward their life worth living goals.
