Pros: This continuing education training is led by a highly established university professor and seasoned practitioner. She has also been certified by Marsha Linehan, the creator. Being trained in this approach can make clinicians incredibly marketable in almost any location. This training also has a follow-up continuing education training for how to apply DBT approaches to other difficulties (e.g., substance abuse, eating disorders, etc. The price tag is also a great value for 5.25 CME/CE hours.
Limits: Practicing this therapy is harrrrd. It often requires support from other therapists and intentional self-care efforts. But it does change lives.
