In this series of DBT skills training videotapes, Marsha Linehan, the developer of DBT, guides practitioners and clients alike through essential DBT skills.All four videos in the From Chaos to Freedom™ series go well beyond Linehan’s (1993) Skills Training Manual for Borderline Personality Disorder to incorporate her latest ideas for how to apply these skills and solutions to common barriers. Filled with humor, personal stories, exercises, and demonstrations, Linehan guides her viewer through step-by-step instructions in skill application. While developed for use by clients as a therapy adjunct, many treatment providers have used these skills to learn the skills themselves, train new staff, and get new teaching examples and stories for use with their own clients. These videos were made through funding from NIMH with extensive input and critique from former DBT consumers.This set consists of the following four DVDs: Crisis Survival Skills, Part 1: Distracting and Self SoothingCrisis Survival Skills, Part 2: Improving the Moment and Pros & Cons From Suffering to Freedom: Practicing Reality AcceptanceThis One Moment: Skills For Everyday MindfulnessChaos To Freedom Skills Training Videos™ Crisis Survival Skills, Part One : Distracting and Self-Soothing Some causes of emotional distress frankly have no simple remedy — or can’t be changed at all.

Part Two of this series provides more practical, tested training that can help one survive personal crises. In this video Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., shows you ways to help control the moment. She demonstrates how to use something as simple as a pencil and piece of paper to discover wise insights that protect one from reactions and urges that could hurt instead of help.

In it she reveals the three skills that have enabled ordinary people to cope with extraordinary problems, disappointments, and seemingly unconquerable personal trauma. Using examples drawn from years of clinical experience and deep research, Linehan demonstrates proven techniques for dealing with life circumstances and happenings that “shouldn’t be,” but are. Reality Acceptance teaches readily learnable skills that are solid stepping stones on your way from hard times to hope. It’s priceless protection for the quality of life.Chaos To Freedom Skills Training Videos™ This One Moment : Skills for Everyday Mindfulness We’re often so caught up in our insecurities and fears – thinking about the past or worrying about the future – that we miss the very moment we’re in. We escape the present moment, seeking comfort from old, habitual behaviors. Yet our uneasiness and discomfort linger as a backdrop in our lives. In this unique video, Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., offers Eastern and Western practical wisdom for finding joy, self-understanding, and freedom from our insecurities by living fully and consciously in the present. With anecdotes, exercises, and demonstration, Linehan guides you step-by-step through six fundamental mindfulness skills that prepare the foundation for a “Wise Mind” and living fully awake and free in daily life.Review”FABULOUS! The tapes can be very helpful to individuals new to dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as well as those who are more familiar with DBT skills. The video series is beneficial to both clinicians and clients. I have been teaching DBT skills for over 8 years and to have the opportunity to watch Dr. Linehan teach the skills will assist me in teaching the skills more effectively. The video series has also provided me with new ideas for various teaching points. The videos are very clear and concise in the teaching style as well as humorous!”–Gwen Anney-Cunningham, CSW”Dr. Linehan has once again done a masterful job of explaining the concepts in a very understandable manner. I have been teaching this material for 9 years, and by watching these videos, was still able to pick up a number of pointers about teaching it more effectively. I have loaned the videos to clients, and they found them helpful not only for themselves, but they also shared them with other DBT clients and groups. This video series is a great addition to my tool kit to use with my clients (and peers!).”–Beverly Long, DBT Training CoordinatorProduct DescriptionThe skills addressed here help clients ‘control the moment’ and protect themselves from impulsive or self-destructive responses to difficult situations. Covered are straightforward techniques for seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and staying focused on long-term goals–using tools as simple as a pencil and paper. Marsha M.
