Embodied DBT Training 1
with Dr Eboni Webb
SESSION 3 OF 4
Duration 15mins 15secs
In this session, Dr. Eboni Webb investigates the importance of regulating safety plans in working with clients exhibiting life-threatening behaviors, high suicidality, or histories of self-harm. She emphasises that while safety plans don’t guarantee complete protection, they set a foundation of commitment to avoid harm, both for oneself and others. In embodied DBT, safety planning goes beyond written guidelines by integrating embodied techniques that help clients physically feel safe and grounded. Dr. Webb discusses moving clients from dependency to interdependence, encouraging them to gradually take responsibility for their safety outside of therapy. She also highlights assessing mental, physical, and social safety as part of early treatment.
A critical aspect of Dr. Webb’s approach is incorporating flexible, evolving plans that adjust as the client progresses in therapy. She recommends maintaining a robust treatment plan that includes assessing for suicidal risk and addressing underlying trauma, especially for clients with conditions like borderline personality disorder, which increase vulnerability to self-harm. Dr. Webb underscores the importance of therapeutic repair and continuous adaptation of the safety plan, ensuring it remains an effective, living tool for managing crises and supporting recovery.
