Skills Groups are run like a class where the group leader teaches skills and practice exercises to help you use the skills at home, school, work and social situations. Classes are organized in four modules: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. With 6 sessions per module, it takes 24 sessions, or an average of 6 months to complete all skills classes. Most clients take the four DBT modules more than once to more fully absorb and apply the skills as they become increasingly automatic in most areas of your life.
