RO DBT For Therapists

Radically Open DBT or RO DBT is a therapy for people who suffer from disorders of over-control. Clinically, we see that over-control leads to perfectionism, anorexia, treatment-resistant depression, treatment-resistant anxiety, and many other struggles. A major concern about over-control is that it is seen to create profound social loneliness and contributes to people not feeling part of the group or connected to others.

RO DBT emphasizes radical openness and self-inquiry through 32 skills in order to help people understand the roots of over-control while working through a program to increase flexibility, increase vulnerability, and feel more connected to others.

Through this consult group, clinicians will learn RO DBT skills and the underpinnings of RO to be able to teach clients RO DBT skills. In practice, RO is taught in group and reinforced through individual RO DBT therapy, so the consult group will teach and support clinicians in the acquisition and application of RO Skills.
