Marsha Linehan & Mindfulness




It is the practice of living awake, with your eyes wide open; allowing the moment, the willingness to be alive to the moment and radical acceptance of the entirety of the moment.

Mindfulness is a key component of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy a cognitive treatment originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals. Research has also shown that it is effective in treating a wide range of other disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders.

Dr Marsha Linehan the founder of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is visiting Australia in March to provide instruction and experiential practice in working with high-risk individuals. Dr Linehan will introduce and update the very latest applications of skills in the areas of emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Develop your skills and effectiveness when working with suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, borderline and anti-social personality disorders.

Radical acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now, without judging.
