Martha Dyer

Goal:  To explore and learn DBT skills through visual and experiential activities.  Martha Dyer, Art Therapist and Meggan Moorhead, DBT skills trainer have spent a year creating visual tasks (collage, imagery, drawing, coloring, painting) as well as experiential and somatic exercises to help people learn DBT skills who are not primarily word oriented.

Why:

• It helps us to retain skills in different and sometimes more meaningful ways.
  
• Because many are visual and experiential learners
  
• Because it challenges us to think about DBT skills in new ways
  
• Because it is fun

• Explore DBT through structured art and experiential activities
• Have opportunities to be creative in a safe and nonjudgmental environment
• Use a great variety of art materials including colored papers, glue, picture cut-outs, collage, drawing tools, paint and more.
• Share group art experiences and have time to work individually
• Practice mindfulness together during every session

Who is this group for:

• Therapists who want exposure to skills in a new medium
• DBT graduates who want to explore skills in a creative way
• Individuals interested in learning DBT in creative experiential format
• People who are oriented through imagery and sensation
