Pause and Practice

In this episode of Mindcast, Dr. Andrea Gold provides an overview of core mindfulness skills as taught and practiced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and its adolescent adaptation (DBT-A) with teens and their caregivers. Dr. Gold demonstrates how DBT provides concrete strategies for practicing mindfulness even (and especially!) when emotions are quick, intense, and long-lasting, as is the case when working with families with high levels of emotional and interpersonal dysregulation.
