Using DBT Skills to Support Trauma Treatment

Working with trauma can be a complex clinical challenge, particularly when persistent symptoms such as intrusive memories, dissociation, or high-risk coping behaviours make it difficult for clients to feel safe enough to engage in therapy. DBT skills offer a practical toolkit for therapists navigating this complexity. They can support clients at every stage of trauma recovery: preparing for targeted trauma work, staying engaged during it, and consolidating gains afterward. Even for clinicians not working within a formal trauma protocol, DBT skills provide strategies for reducing the impact of trauma-related symptoms on both client wellbeing and the therapy process itself. Dr Melanie Harned, developer of DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE), has devoted her career to improving treatment for people affected by trauma. In this Q&A, she shares how DBT skills can be tailored to help clients achieve meaningful, lasting change.
