This workshop is suitable for everyone, including the general public, mental health and healthcare professionals, meditation and mindfulness instructors, yoga teachers, wellness coaches, and educators at all levels. Prerequisites Needed: None, all are welcome to attend.
If you’re finding this course less than 3 weeks before the start date, join CMSC for an introductory information session about Live Online Mindful Self-Compassion (LOMSC) introducing you to the concepts covered in the class, the online format, and Q & A. CMSC offers you $100 off the registration fee when you attend the Introductory Session.

DBT Skills Group (Tuesday Cohort)
2026-11-24 18:00 - 20:00
Our DBT Skills Group (Tuesday Cohort) runs weekly on Tuesdays from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (ET).
A Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills Group is a structured group that teaches concrete skills you can use in everyday situation and interactions with others. These groups are especially helpful for people who experience intense emotions, difficulty managing stress, relationship challenges, impulsive behaviours, or patterns of feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
At the Centre for MindBody Health, our DBT Skills Groups provide a supportive, interactive, and clinically-guided space to learn and practice DBT skills alongside others.
This group is held online and is co-led by a Psychologist along with either a Social Worker or Registered Psychotherapist.
The group is limited to 12 participants in order to maintain a supportive, engaging, and interactive learning environment. Occasionally there are waitlists.
Program Structure
The full DBT Skills Group program runs for 24 weeks and is divided into three 8-week modules:

Emotion Regulation: skills to better understand, name, and manage emotions; reduce emotional vulnerability; and respond more effectively when emotions feel intense.
Distress Tolerance: skills to cope with crisis situations, tolerate difficult moments, and reduce behaviours that may make things worse in the long term.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: skills to communicate more clearly, set boundaries, ask for what you need, and maintain relationships while respecting yourself and others.
Mindfulness is woven throughout each module and is practiced regularly as a foundation for all DBT skills.

What to Expect in Each Group Session
Each two-hour group follows a consistent structure; you will know what to expect each week:

30 minutes: Mindfulness practice
30 minutes: Review and discussion of how DBT skills were used in daily life
60 minutes: Learning and practicing a new DBT skill

Groups are educational and skills-focused. You are encouraged to reflect, practice, and apply the skills between sessions in real-life situations.
Who Can Join?
To participate in a DBT Skills Group, you must be working with an individual therapist. This therapist does not need to be from the Centre for MindBody Health. However, if you are also looking for an individual therapist, we are able to match you with a member of our clinical team.
Getting Started
If you are wanting to join one of our DBT Skills Group, please begin by booking a Discovery Call with a Care Coordinator. This brief call gives you an opportunity to learn more about the group, ask questions, and provide information about your interest in the group.
You can also complete our online intake form if that is your preference. Either way, our team will follow up to schedule an orientation with a Group facilitator.
Group Orientation
Before beginning the group, you will attend an orientation appointment with a group leader. It’s an important meeting that provides an opportunity to review the structure of the group, discuss expectations, answer questions, and ensure the group is the right fit for your needs and goals.

Transforming Trauma Through Attachment: Practical AEDP Interventions for Lasting Change
2026-12-04 11:00 - 2026-12-05 14:30
Transforming Trauma Through Attachment: Practical AEDP Interventions for Lasting Change
Facilitated by: Dr. Diana Fosha
Date: December 4 & 5, 2026
Time: 11:00am – 2:30pm (ET)
Location: Live Online via Zoom
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE
Workshop Description
Clinicians who work with attachment trauma face a profound paradox daily: their most wounded clients desperately need connection to heal, yet connection is precisely what most triggers them. Yet, despite widespread knowledge of attachment theory, clinicians lack specific moment-to-moment interventions for its use in clinical work. Faced with hypervigilant, dissociated, or dysregulated clients, they find themselves without systematic methods to heal the attachment aspect of attachment trauma.
AEDP’s revolutionary solution is an empirically supported methodology that uses attachment itself to heal attachment wounding. AEDP bridges the gap between attachment research and clinical practice, offering concrete techniques that create healing from the very first session on: (i) the systematic undoing of patients’ aloneness in the face of overwhelming emotion—the core mechanism underlying all attachment trauma—through dyadic affect regulation and experiential relational processing work with the here-and-now experience of the therapeutic relationship; (ii) the systematic cultivation of receptive affective experiences—clients’ capacity to actually take in and internalize care, understanding, and love that is being offered; (iii) relational metatherapeutic processing, the last step in the rewiring of the internal working model.
For clients, this means moving from experiencing “attachment as threat” to “attachment as sanctuary”—often for the first time, experiencing what it feels like to exist safely in someone’s heart and mind.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this Workshop, participants will be able to:

Utilize three different types of interventions that utilize attachment to treat attachment trauma
Define receptive affective experiences and describe how make use of them to enhance the effectiveness of your therapeutic empathy
Investigate three different types of interventions used in AEDP to undo aloneness
Apply the concept of relational processing in psychotherapy sessions with traumatized clients
Evaluate three different types of receptive affective experiences
Apply the technique of relational metaprocessing to consolidate and expand changes in clients’ internal working models

Presenter
Diana Fosha, PhD, is the developer of AEDP®, a healing-oriented, radically relational experiential psychotherapy to transform trauma, heal attachment wounds, and help people connect to their vitality. Founder and director of the AEDP Institute and on the Faculty at Mount Sinai’s Icahn School of Medicine in New York City, her work sits at the cutting edge of transformational theory and radically relational clinical practice. For over two decades, she has pioneered the integration of affective neuroscience, attachment theory, positive neuroplasticity, and recognition science into a coherent, evidence-based framework for healing trauma and attachment wounds — and for catalyzing what she terms “quantum change” in patients’ lives. AEDP’s central commitment is the transformation of emotional suffering into flourishing. She is author of The Transforming Power of Affect (2000); Undoing Aloneness: The Transformation of Suffering into Flourishing. AEDP 2.0 (2021); and, with Karen Pando-Mars, Tailoring Treatment to Attachment Patterns: Healing Trauma in Relationship (2025). Her live clinical work, showing her pioneering techniques for creating corrective relational experiences that rewire attachment patterns, has been published by the APA (American Psychological Association) in five videos, including one following a complete course of AEDP therapy and one devoted to clinical supervision. Many of her articles can be found at www.aedpinstitute.org.
