Answer: B - Confrontation of past trauma is not a specific aspect of DBT skills groups. DBT acknowledges the effect of the past on present behavior but focuses on changing current behaviors rather than confronting the past. The four modules are mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Mindfulness: This module focuses on helping individuals increase their awareness of the present moment and improve their ability to regulate their emotions and behavior.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: This module teaches individuals effective communication and assertiveness skills, as well as how to maintain healthy relationships.
Distress Tolerance: This module helps individuals develop coping strategies for dealing with difficult situations and emotions, without resorting to self-harm or other harmful behaviors.
Emotion Regulation: This module focuses on teaching individuals how to manage and change intense or problematic emotions. It includes skills such as identifying and challenging negative thoughts, increasing positive emotions, and developing a more balanced perspective on life.
These four modules work together to help individuals build a foundation of emotional regulation and effective coping strategies, leading to improved well-being and quality of life.
