The Importance of Developing a Healthy Sense of Safety (Part 3 of the 4-Part Series on Core Problem Analysis)
Sense of safety (SS) refers to an ability to self-control and accumulate resources, knowledge, and connections sufficient to handle challenges, as well as develop a realistic appraisal of danger. SS is not the same as safety, which we cannot assure. Indeed, we cannot control other people, life and circumstances. Further, this world is very unpredictable and sometimes even dangerous. So, for us to be able to venture into this uncontrollable, unpredictable and dangerous world, to effectively navigate it, to face challenges and to solve problems, we need to develop a sense of safety. See the links below for more information on this topic.
The Siren Call of AI Intimacy
I’ve been thinking a lot about how algorithmic attachment (defined as users forming emotional ties with AI companions) correlates with other addictive behaviors such as substance use, that make you feel better in the short-term.
AI bots make you feel safe to divulge your deepest vulnerabilities because they formulaically validate your emotions. What, you ask, is the validation formula?
We Are The Comprehensive Training Center:
Expanding Global Access with Live and Asynchronous DBT Training
Our live training has become a worldwide movement. Clinicians from across the globe joined our first DBT Basics training, which was conducted in English with simultaneous Spanish translation. This level of international collaboration is at the heart of CTC’s mission. Seeing clinicians from different countries interact, share insights, and support one another is exactly what we set out to do. But we’re not stopping there!
We’re beyond excited to offer asynchronous courses—making DBT training more flexible and accessible than ever. With the launch of our on-demand learning platform and website, clinicians have access to self-paced, high-quality DBT training anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to refine your skills or a newcomer exploring DBT for the first time, our courses and Resource Library Subscription are designed to meet you where you are.
See below and in subsequent newsletters for more details on our upcoming courses. The future of global DBT training starts now!
