dbt courses
We offer courses through our Get Real Program, an emotional skills training program based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan and combines Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Zen Mindfulness skills from Thich Nhat Hahn’s book, The Miracle of Mindfulness. DBT is The Shit, and Dr. Kelly makes learning a complex set of concepts and skills fun and funny. “Yer gonna laugh yourself right into healthy…” – Dr. Kelly
Dr. Kelly never liked the dependency created in traditional psychotherapy and ascribes to a “TEACH a kid to fish” philosophy. Therefore, Dr. Kelly wants it to get less expensive, more group-learning-based, and more independent the longer you want to learn.
