The European DBT Association invites you to a live webinar with Dr. Shireen Rizvi, a leading expert in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), for an inspiring and practical session on bringing DBT skills into everyday life.
In Skills for (Extra)Ordinary Living, Dr. Rizvi will explore how science-based DBT skills can move beyond therapy settings and become powerful tools for daily living. Whether managing intense emotions, navigating relationship challenges, coping with crises, or simply striving for greater balance and confidence, DBT offers clear and actionable strategies that anyone can use.
Drawing from her extensive clinical, research, and teaching experience—including her leadership roles at Montefiore Einstein and over 15 years as a professor at Rutgers University—Dr. Rizvi will share insights from her work expanding access to DBT skills. The webinar will also highlight resources such as her book Real Skills for Real Life and widely used educational materials designed to make DBT accessible, practical, and engaging.
Participants will gain:
-
An overview of core DBT skills such as Wise Mind, Validation, Problem Solving, and Radical Acceptance
-
Practical examples of how to apply these skills in real-world situations
-
Guidance on helping clients—and ourselves—choose where to begin
-
Inspiration for promoting DBT skills beyond traditional clinical contexts
Join us for an engaging evening dedicated to building skills for both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life.
