Chats with Trainers: Effectively Navigating Challenges in DBT Phone Coaching (SOLD OUT)

This event has sold out! Please join the waiting list.

Description
Phone coaching is one of the primary modes of DBT, involving the therapist’s availability to provide clients with skills coaching between sessions. Most of the time, phone coaching is quite effective and can be navigated smoothly. At times, however, clinicians encounter challenges with this mode of DBT, such as clients who aren’t willing to talk about skills, clinicians who stay on the phone too long, calls deviating into an individual therapy on the phone format, and so forth. This group consultation will occur in a question-focused seminar format, focusing on questions participants have about how to effectively navigate some common challenges in phone coaching in DBT.

 

Learning Objective
Participants will be able to conceptualize and begin to use some key principles and strategies to navigate challenges and make phone coaching more effective.
