Experiential DBT: Coming into the Present Moment

By Demelza Newman, Therapist for Summit Cottage

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

The goal of Experiential DBT is to work with the body and mind to create more "Wise Mind" approaches to living. A "Wise Mind" approach to living allows for a flexible, balanced response to whatever life throws at us.  Through various experientials that utilize creativity, movement, and the uniqueness of each participant, individuals develop a set of effective coping skills to tolerate a variety of situations.
