DBT DIME Program

The DIME program consists of a curated individual assessment process, 2 sessions of group commitment and orientation, and 20-25 group skills sessions along with a post-group individual session.

Anyone who wants to improve their skillfulness and effectiveness, while reducing the impact of strong emotions.
We run separate groups for tweens/teens, young adults, and adults.

DIME stands for:

  • Distress Tolerance
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness
  • Mindfulness
  • Emotion Regulation

The DIME Program teaches you the skills to reduce confusion, increase emotional regulation, decrease impulsivity and support you navigating problems in relationships. The group uses the main DBT modules of Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Mindfulness to guide you through learning and implementing skills to increase your effectiveness at navigating life’s challenges and building a life worth living.

Skills are taught to reflect a key dialectic: the need for clients to accept themselves as they are, and the need for them to change. Skills are designed to specifically assist in better managing behaviours, emotions and thoughts. Problematic behaviours evolve as a way to cope with a situation or attempt to solve a problem. While these behaviours might provide temporary relief, they often are not effective in the long term. DBT assumes that clients are doing the best they can AND they need to learn new behaviours.

$ 2460

*Billing is broken down by session. Manual and metrics are included in the price of the program.

**To participate in the DIME program, you must have at least one monthly individual session with a DBT trained therapist internal or external to Talk Therapy Canada.

*Within each program, we may occasionally meet individually if there is a piece of individual work that can be completed to assist in moving the couples’ goals forward. Or we may refer you for individual therapy.

*Couples who enter our programs begin with an assessment process that then informs the therapeutic framework and intervention. Therapeutic Interventions are designed to help couples strengthen their relationships in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts. Interventions and skills designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances the couples’ shared goals. Relapse prevention is also addressed.
