Burnout and Self-care Practices for DBT Therapists

Counselling Connection is currently conducting research in the area of DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy). The current research is specific to burnout and self-care in therapists providing DBT services. The study will aim to further explore the relationship between DBT work and burnout, the self-care practices utilized by DBT therapists and therapists’ thoughts with regard to the usefulness of self-care in DBT work. Although there is some research exploring these topics with regard to DBT specifically, there is much more to be explored; this study aims to contribute to the progression of research in the field.
