WHAT IS DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapeutic modality that has proven effective in managing intense emotions, reducing stress & self-harming behaviors while also improving communication in relationships. This group will focus on building the skills in each of the modules of DBT: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional regulation, Interpersonal effectiveness.
DBT acknowledges the need for change in a context of acceptance of situations and recognizes the constant flux of feelings, many of them contradictory, without having to get caught up in them. Therapists help clients understand and accept that thought is an inherently messy process. DBT is itself an interplay of science and practice.
With its strong emphasis on emotion regulation skills, DBT is finding application as a treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions, that include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Substance Use Disorder
- Bipolar
- Self-harm
- PTSD
- Disordered eating
- Perdonality disorders, including borderline personality disorder
