This course invites you to reflect on the myths that hold you back in relationships and teaches you skills to be more assertive. We will talk about how to prepare for difficult conversations by creating scripts and anticipating pushback. These flexible and scientifically supported dialectical behavior therapy skills will help you to have clearer communication and more fulfilling relationships.
"When I have had interpersonal conflicts, I’ve always prepared for the worst, assuming that there's probably going to be very violent pushback. On this course I’ve realized it doesn't always have to be like that, like not every disagreement or conflict has to be aggressive.”

"I hadn't done anything like a DBT skills group before, and I felt more comfortable in the group than in any kind of therapy setting I've ever been in. Which is amazing! I've always kind of held stuff back and not brought my full kind of self to those things, even one to one, but the skills group has been a situation where I've been able to be really open and I feel really very grateful for that."
