FAQ

  • Q: Is this course considered therapy? Will insurance help pay for this course?

    A: No. This course is designed to help give you practical tools and ideas you need to become more self-compassionate. This online course is not therapy nor is it a substitute for treatment.

  • You specialize in borderline personality disorder and I don’t have that diagnosis. Will this course help me?

    A: It’s true that I do specialize in DBT—an effective treatment for individuals with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and for those who engage in self-harming behaviors. However, this self-compassion course will be geared primarily to individuals who consider themselves to be highly-sensitive persons or emotionally-sensitive individuals.

  • Is this course live or are the webinars prerecorded?

    A: Yes, this is live. We meet each and every week for one hour. You will always be given an opportunity to ask questions and receive immediate feedback so that you can get the answers and support you need as quickly as possible.

  • How long is this course?

    A: This is a six-week course that meets every Saturday at the same time.

  • I still have questions. How can I reach you?

    A: You can always email me at [email protected].
