Testimonials

  • Bird’s eye view of DBT

    Bird’s eye view of DBT as a package, vs in the past only having instruction in techniques. – DBT Basics

  • Connected a lot of dots for me

    Really great exploration of validation, emotional dysregulation, and invalidating home environments. Connected a lot of dots for me, and gave me some new perspectives to take back to my practice. – DBT Basics

  • It provides another perspective…

    I especially like this training in DBT-C because it provides another perspective for teaching DBT. I get requests from parents of younger children, and now I have a theoretical framework to work from. I also believe that DBT-C concepts and theoretical framework apply to my adolescents, as well. I’m so thankful to have taken this training with Francheska. She has so much knowledge that she imparts! – DBT-C (Live)

  • A missing link

    Understanding the Core senses is like getting a missing link – I am trained in DBT-A, standard DBT, SUD DBT and DBT-PE and now, having the DBT-C and understanding the core senses is like being able to see the whole puzzle. Incredible. – DBT-C (Live)

  • The best of Maslow’s humanistic approach…

    Francheska has taken the best of Maslow’s humanistic approach, psychodynamic approaches of analyzing old maladaptive behaviors as well as Beck’s primary and secondary appraisal and cognitive fusion, challenging etc. – DBT-C (Live)

  • So exceeded my expectations…

    This so exceeded my expectations, which were high. It is exciting new (to me) material that I think I can use immediately. It also explains why my practice is struggling with the parents of our adolescent clients. I think that we can use some of the principles from this to work more effectively with them. – DBT-C (Live)

  • Absolutely amazing.

    The metaphors and role-plays were absolutely amazing and will be easy to remember. Fresh examples of how to teach skills to young kids were enormously helpful! – DBT-C (Live)
