Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has become a cornerstone in helping individuals manage emotional dysregulation, interpersonal conflicts, and distressing thoughts. At TheraHive, we've seen firsthand how transformative DBT skills can be for our students. But what happens once you've completed a foundational DBT skills program? How do you continue to grow and master these skills? That's where our Advanced DBT Skills Group comes in.

What is an Advanced DBT Skills Group?

Our Advanced DBT Skills Group is designed for students who have a solid foundational understanding of DBT skills and are ready to take their practice to the next level. Unlike our foundational program, which follows a structured curriculum week by week, the advanced group is more open-ended and personalized.

In this group, each student works on an individualized skills plan that they develop with their coach. The group meetings focus on refining these skills, sharing experiences, and providing mutual support. The goal is to move from baseline competency to mastery, allowing you to use DBT skills effectively and effortlessly in various aspects of your life.

Is the Advanced DBT Skills Group Right for You?

To help you determine if you're ready for the advanced group, we've developed a survey that assesses your familiarity with DBT skills, how effectively you use them, and your readiness for continued learning. This survey will give you immediate feedback on your readiness and provide recommendations based on your responses.

Below, you'll find our readiness survey embedded. Take a few minutes to answer the questions honestly. Your responses will help you understand whether you're prepared to join our Advanced DBT Skills Group or if you might benefit from additional foundational work.

Understanding Your Survey Results

0-20 Points: Not quite ready for the advanced group. It looks like there might be some gaps in your understanding or application of DBT skills. Consider revisiting some foundational modules or discussing your progress with your coach to strengthen these areas.

21-40 Points: Consider the advanced group. You have a good grasp of DBT skills, but there may still be areas where you need more practice. Our advanced group could help you solidify and enhance your skills, providing the support and structure you need to achieve mastery.

41-60 Points: Definitely ready for the advanced group. You have a solid understanding and effective use of DBT skills. Joining the advanced group will allow you to refine these skills further, share your experiences, and continue your journey toward mastery with the support of peers and coaches.

Why Join the Advanced DBT Skills Group?

  1. Personalized Learning: Work on a customized skills plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
  2. Peer Support: Share your journey with others who are also working towards mastery.
  3. Expert Guidance: Benefit from the insights and feedback of experienced DBT coaches.
  4. Skill Refinement: Move beyond basic competency to using DBT skills effortlessly in all areas of your life.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If your survey results indicate that you're ready for the advanced group, we encourage you to reach out to your TheraHive coach to discuss your next steps. Together, you can develop a plan to join the advanced group and continue your journey towards mastering DBT skills.

For those who need a bit more foundational work, don't be discouraged. Mastery is a journey, and every step you take brings you closer to where you want to be. Use this opportunity to deepen your understanding and strengthen your practice.
