Programs & Structure
From Aquisition to Application
DBT programs show efficacy at once solid year of shaping wanted behaviors in, shaping unwanted behaviors out. Going through all three of the 9 week modules constitutes a 27 week long semester.
While the average person takes 2 semesters to learn and solidify necessary skills for a life worth living, on occasion, we have seen people who achieve their goals within 1 semester.
