About the training

How to work effectively with the critic mode?

HOW TO APPLY ELEMENTS OF DBT AND SCHEMA THERAPY IN PRACTICE?

Working with the critic mode can be a huge challenge, but the right tools can prove remarkably helpful here. Ahead of you are 4 hours of intensive, shared work during which you'll gain an overall view of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). You'll also learn a variety of skills and techniques drawn directly from schema therapy, which will let you act more effectively in difficult situations.

The training is designed so that you leave it with far greater self-confidence and the conviction that you can comfortably master new therapeutic skills.

This isn’t a drawn-out, many-hours-long DBT course – that would take far too much time – but a focused, essentials-driven session centered on practice. You’ll get a solid foundation and tools that you’ll immediately translate into your own work. The program also includes practical exercises that the trainer will talk through and that will help you ground the knowledge you’ve gained in action. Join us and feel more confident in your work!

For who?

Who is this training for?

Psychotherapists and psychologists working in the Schema Therapy approach

Are you looking for effective ways to bring elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into your everyday practice? You want to learn how to smoothly integrate these two approaches so that therapy becomes more complete, and your methods of working with a patient's emotions become even more accurate and effective.

Specialists working with deep dysregulation and complex problems

Do you meet people in your practice struggling with overwhelming emotions, suicidal tendencies, self-harm, or substance-use problems? You want to acquire concrete skills for interrupting crises and for teaching clients how to experience difficult emotional states safely and healthily.

Therapists who want to develop the "healthy adult" mode and assertiveness

Do you want to feel more confident working with patients who have experienced trauma and with personality disorders? You're looking for tools that will help you build clear, transparent communication about needs, support your own assertiveness, and cope even more effectively with the demanding critic mode during sessions.

Prerequisite: familiarity with the basics of Schema Therapy and a general knowledge of emotion regulation

During this 4-hour training we focus on the practical integration of skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with Schema Therapy. We assume you already have a general grasp of the subject, so we skip the basic definitions and get straight to the specifics. This is essentials-focused material that develops your craft, teaching mindfulness in the context of schemas, supporting the "healthy adult," and coping with an overwhelmed "vulnerable child." Instead of a theoretical introduction, you get a toolkit that will immediately boost your confidence in the therapy room.
