"My Team and I were fortunate to have Dr. Brian Curtis do a didactic Lunch-and-Learn series on DBT-Sleep, spanning a month's time, for an audience of trainees brand new to DBT and working with disordered sleep, all the way to DBT-LBC Certified clinicians such as myself with 20 years of DBT practice.  

Every single session was well organized, engaging, and thoughtfully curated, and I can't tell you how many notes I took! After every session, the Team would chat excitedly about how we were planning to use the knowledge and techniques learned immediately with our clients.  

That is how well Brian set us up. Even after the first session, we walked away with tools to help our clients in tangible ways manage their wide range of sleep issues, and we felt confident in our ability to do so as a direct result of Brian's unique way of teaching and training. We have seen improvements in outcomes with our clients through application of what we learned, and also with ourselves!  

As someone with decades of sleep issues of all types, the implementation of what I learned from Brian shifted what my own sleep experience was, and for the better beyond belief. I stand behind Brian and his work, and am forever grateful to have learned from him."

"I took three of Dr. Curtis's live trainings in the fall of 2022. I can’t emphasize enough the amount of valuable information and tangible skills I gained from those trainings.

This has transformed the way I help my clients with sleep-related issues. Now I feel like I have some control over a problem that is so important for the population we serve.

If you have the chance to take Brian’s trainings, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend doing so for the benefit of both your clients and your practice."

"This course goes beyond exceptional training and is an essential for any clinician who regularly utilizes DBT.

Many of my clients experienced sleep disruptions that were chronically underlying their problem behaviors and emotional pain, but which were not addressed given the severity and urgency of other issues in their lives.

This training was vital in helping both myself and my clients to deeply understand the driving factors for sleep disruptions and to gain the skills in regulating sleep while working within a DBT protocol.

This training will absolutely deepen your practice and quickly improve the lives of those you work with (and yourself)."

"I have attended several trainings by Dr. Curtis and have left each one a better clinician. He is bright, engaging, and clear as a presenter.

I not only felt like his training sharpened my conceptualization of the transactional relationship between sleep and mood, but I felt able to walk out of the training and implement new techniques in my sessions that day."

"Dr. Curtis has succeeded in combining the most effective psychotherapeutic modality, DBT, with the field of sleep medicine to successfully treat sleep disorders in people who struggle with extreme depression, PTSD, severe anxiety, and personality disorders.

In 24 years of practicing DBT, I have yet to find a clinician that is more adept at applying concise and cohesive measures to relieve disordered sleep issues. Notable is his nonjudgmental stance which increases patient compliance in a historically challenging field of treatment. He is my first line of defense in treating patients with sleep difficulties."
