Exploring Interpersonal Effectiveness as a set of skills • Over 15 weeks we will discuss in detail each of the skills included in the Interpersonal Effectiveness module that is a part of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training Manual • There will be inclusion of short meditation and breathing practices to center and settle at the start of each group meeting • Homework will be assigned each week to assist group members in learning and assimilating the skills into their daily lives. • Our focus will be on learning how to be skillful and effective in communication while balancing the value of relationships with the value of self-respect; building and nurturing relationships while ending destructive ones; learning how to walk The Middle Path and stay out of the proverbial “weeds”; and learning the beauty of “both and” versus “either or” and “yes, but."
