Our workshops are inspired by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) developed by M. Linehan (1991) and adapted for use with families by A. Fruzzetti & P. Hoffman (2001) and by A. Miller & J. Rathus (2014). We also draw from the work of K. Neff (2015) and Tara Brach (202) on Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC).
