PLEASE NOTE: This course is part of the Level 2 Blended Learning course so there is no need to buy this if you have already got access to Level 2.
This course consists of three on-demand webinars that all focus on social signaling.
This course is intended for clinicians who have previously attended an RO DBT intensive training course and would like to refresh their knowledge.
You will get indefinite access to this course, there is no expiration date.
Social Signaling Style and Personality: In the first half of this module Dr Lynch explains the differences in social signaling between undercontrolled and overcontrolled clients and their underlying motivations for their social signaling behavior. The second part of the module focuses on how the indirect communication forms of discretion and politeness can be used in therapy to turn your client’s attention to potentially difficult topics in a kind manner. Webinar Duration: 58 minutes
Therapeutic Use Of Micromimicry: In this webinar Dr Lynch starts by explaining how quickly we perceive and process emotionally evocative stimuli. This knowledge lays the foundation for understanding how quick and automatic visceral responding can become a problem for hyper-threat sensitive overcontrolled clients. Next, Dr Lynch explains how micro-mimicry may be the basis for human empathy and how, by taking advantage of the mirror neuron system and proprioceptive feedback, therapists can activate their own as well as their clients’ social safety systems. Webinar Duration: 57 minutes
Therapeutic Use of Pro-Social Cooperative Signaling: In this webinar Dr Lynch discusses both the theoretical background of pro-social signaling as well as how to use this knowledge to your advantage as an RO DBT therapist when treating overcontrolled clients. Webinar Duration: 1 hour 36 minutes
Course length: 3 hours 32 minutes
CE credits: 3.5
