Skills to Ground Clients, Decrease Triggers and Improve Emotion Regulation
Katelyn Baxter Musser, LCSW, C-DBT | Click here for information about Katelyn Baxter-Musser

Katelyn Baxter-Musser has taught thousands of clinicians to use DBT in their practices for improved treatment outcomes. Now she'll show you her favorite evidence-based DBT tools you can use to keep clients grounded, help them become more tolerant of their triggers, and increase their emotion regulation.
