The Morning Sit

Mindfulness skills

Freak Out

Based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills, 101 Trauma Informed Interventions (L.A Curran 2013), and Yoga for Therapists () Group members learn and practice skills to make it through distressing situations without making them worse 

Group Therapies

There are two main categories of group therapy: Psychoeducational/skills groups and counseling/process groups. In a skills groups, the group leader presents and leads the group in learning new skills or interventions. In process or counseling groups, the group leader facilitates interactions between group members, where members are able to build awareness and try new ways of being through interactions with other group members. Counseling groups may include group members who struggle with the same challenge, sharing their struggles and successes. Sharing in a skills/psychoeducational groups is not as crucial as learning new skills.  

Running Bird Therapies offers two skills groups at this time. The Morning Sit, a mindfulness group, and Freak Out a distress tolerance/ emotional regulation skills group.  ​
