REGULATE EMOTIONS AND HEAL: DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY

If life feels out of control and you’re just going through the motions, DBT can help. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy was originally developed for people who struggle to regulate their emotions. Using mindfulness, acceptance, and emotion regulation, DBT helps you lay a foundation of calm so that you can feel confident in navigating stressful scenarios. When you have the skills you need to cope effectively, you’re less likely to reach for detrimental coping mechanisms.

DBT TO HOLD TWO OPPOSING IDEAS AT ONCE

If you struggle with intense emotions, you may have developed ineffective behaviors as a way to regulate those out-of-control emotions. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can help correct common ineffective/avoidance behaviors like substance abuse, self-harm, eating disorders, codependency, process addictions, aggression, isolation, impulsivity, suicidality, and violence.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A DBT SKILLS GROUP

In a DBT skills group, clients can expect to receive formalized coaching in four modules:

  1. Mindfulness – gain awareness of your emotions and learn to accept them
  2. Emotion Regulation – understand the function of your emotions, the urges that accompany intense emotions, and learn how to decide whether or not to act on those urges
  3. Distress Tolerance – stress is a natural part of life, and you can manage stress better with skills that build stress tolerance
  4. Interpersonal Effectiveness – become more aware of how your behavior affects your relationships so that you can make positive changes and practice healthy communication and boundaries
