PRACTICAL SKILLS LAB
DBT, CBT & Somatic Skills for Real Life
Learn it. Practice it. Apply it in real life.
Practical Skills Lab is an online learning and practice community for adults who want practical skills they can use in everyday life.
You may already know some coping strategies. You may have read about managing emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns, grounding yourself or responding differently when things get difficult.
But understanding a skill and being able to use it in real life can be two very different things.
Practical Skills Lab gives you a place to learn, practice and keep strengthening those skills.
THREE SKILLS PATHWAYS
PSL content and resources are organized around three areas:
Overwhelm & Emotional Regulation
Build practical skills for navigating strong emotions, slowing reactions and responding more intentionally.
Anxiety, Overthinking & Thought Patterns
Learn practical ways to work with worry, repetitive thinking and unhelpful thought patterns.
Coping, Behaviour & Real-Life Application
Explore coping patterns, behaviour and practical ways to apply skills when everyday situations become difficult.
You do not have to choose one pathway permanently. You can explore the areas that are most relevant to what you are working on.
PSL COFFEE CHAT
Real Questions. Real Situations. Real-Life Troubleshooting.
PSL members can bring real-life questions and experiences to our monthly facilitated Coffee Chat. Together, we explore what happened, what may have gotten in the way and what you might try differently next time.
The pathways help you learn and practice the skills. Coffee Chat helps you troubleshoot real life.

WHAT PRACTICAL SKILLS LAB IS — AND ISN’T
Practical Skills Lab is not group therapy.
It is a psychoeducational learning and practice community where adults can learn and practice DBT, CBT and Somatic skills and explore how those skills can be applied in everyday life.
PSL does not provide individualized psychotherapy, diagnosis or medical treatment, and it is not a crisis service. Participating in the community or live classes does not create a therapist-client relationship.
PSL is not a replacement for working with an appropriate healthcare professional. If you are looking for individualized mental-health treatment or one-on-one support, use the link below.
