"DBT is Real Life" presents DBT as a practical framework that can support anyone seeking to move through daily life with more ease, more meaning, and a greater sense of presence in their life. Although often associated with high-risk clinical presentations, DBT offers broadly applicable principles that help individuals manage emotions, respond to stress, and engage more fully in their lives. The class will highlight how DBT can serve as a valuable resource in healing, by offering structured tools that influence nervous-system regulation and shift relational and behavioral patterns over time. While we will briefly review core DBT concepts, the emphasis will be on how these skills function in everyday living and how they contribute to resilience and long-term change.
