CBT & DBT Life Skills for Managing Emotions, Stress and Wellbeing – 32 Skills
32 emotional regulation and coping skills informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) for sustained wellbeing
A broader toolkit for managing emotions, navigating stress, and responding more flexibly in complex situations.
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) Life Skills for Managing Emotions, Stress and Wellbeing – 32 Skills course extends emotional regulation capability by introducing a wider range of practical tools.
The Decider Skills course supports people who want greater flexibility across repeated stressors, interpersonal challenges, and emotionally demanding situations — building steadiness over time rather than just in the moment.
Introduction
Foundational skills support calmer responses in immediate moments of stress. Over time, however, ongoing pressures and complex situations often require a broader and more adaptable skillset.
The 32 Skills course expands emotional regulation capacity by supporting people to work with patterns, triggers, and recurring emotional responses. Participants learn how to apply skills across a wider range of situations, strengthening confidence and consistency in how they manage emotions over time.
This is skills-based training focused on depth, flexibility, and sustained wellbeing.
Why This Course Matters
Some individuals and teams face ongoing, complex pressures that require more than basic coping strategies. Repeated exposure to stress, conflict, or emotional demands can test even well-developed skills.
When people lack a broader set of tools, they may revert to familiar patterns that no longer serve them — avoidance, emotional overload, or rigid responses that limit flexibility and resilience over time.
This course matters because it expands people’s range and depth of emotional regulation strategies, supporting more flexible, consistent responses across repeated and challenging situations.
What Participants Learn
Participants develop extended emotional regulation and coping skills, including:
🗸 Managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and emotional overwhelm
🗸 Applying skills flexibly across different situations
🗸 Recognising emotional patterns and recurring triggers
🗸 Using practical strategies for distress tolerance and regulation
🗸 Strengthening long-term emotional resilience
Learning remains practical, structured, and grounded in everyday application.
