Speaker Talk: Implementing Change Using DEARMAN

The acronym DEARMAN is a tool taught in DBT therapy, used when asking for a change from someone else. When adapted across multiple scenarios, this can be so much more. Together we’ll teach the sentence structure, and review how to apply in parenting scenarios ranging from requesting a change in a pattern of behavior, orienting to a new behavior plan or expectation, following through with a behavior plan, or saying no to someone else’s request.
