Breaking the Cycle: A Practical Guide to Changing Your Patterns with DBT for Practitioners
Master one of DBT's core assessment tools and turn a fuzzy "I don't know why I did that" into a clear, actionable picture of what's driving a client's behavior. When a chain analysis is thorough, it doesn't just describe a problem behavior; it reveals the prompting event, the vulnerability factors, and the links connecting one moment to the next, giving you a foundation solid enough to build the right intervention on.
Created by TheraHive Co-Founders Dr. Alicia Smart, PsyD and Dr. Jesse Finkelstein, PsyD (both DBT-Linehan Board of Certification Certified Clinicians), this mini course gives clinicians a structured, in-depth approach to running a chain analysis from assessment through solutions. Whether you run a full DBT program or bring behavioral assessment into another modality entirely, this course sharpens a skill you're already using.
