Assumptions About Survivors with Sarahi Gutierrez
In this blog post, I’m talking with my colleague and good friend, Sarahi Gutierrez, about the 10 Assumptions of Survivors. I personally consider Sarahi quite the expert in DBT. She is so masterful at engaging in this intervention, so I wanted to get her insight into how these assumptions can shape how we engage with survivors in the world and in the community, how we can engage with ourselves, and why these are so important.
DBT Trauma Therapy
DBT Trauma Therapy (aka Trauma Focused DBT) and how we apply DBT to trauma and trauma recovery
There are two main topics that I want to touch on in this conversation:
1. What is a skillful approach to trauma recovery using DBT skills?
2. What is DBT prolonged exposure (DBT PE)? How is it applied? How is it functional?
