Setting Intentions for 2026: A DBT-Informed Approach That Actually Sticks

Every January, we’re surrounded by messages telling us to do more, be better, and finally get it together. If you’ve ever set New Year’s resolutions that fizzled out by February, you are not alone, and it’s likely not because you lack motivation or discipline.

At TheraHive, we believe intention-setting works best when it is grounded in what truly matters to you, not in guilt or pressure. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to our upcoming FREE webinar: Setting Intentions with DBT Skills for 2026 on Tuesday, January 27th at 9:00am PST.

Hosted by TheraHive co-founders Dr. Alicia Smart and Dr. Jesse Finklestein, both PsyD and DBT-Linehan Board of Certification Certified Clinicians, this interactive Zoom workshop will walk you through a more compassionate, realistic way to set intentions using evidence-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills.

Why Intentions, Not Resolutions?

Traditional resolutions often focus on outcomes such as:

• Exercise more
• Be less anxious
• Stop procrastinating

DBT invites a different starting point: values.

When your goals are connected to your values, they feel more meaningful and more doable. Instead of chasing perfection, you learn how to build a life that feels worth living, one small step at a time.

This webinar is designed to help you:

• Clarify what you truly value, not what you think you should value
• Translate those values into realistic goals
• Identify short-term actions that support long-term change
• Use DBT skills to reduce overwhelm and increase follow-through

Whether you are feeling energized by the start of a new year or feeling stuck and unsure where to begin, these skills meet you where you are.
