Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based therapy that helps individuals to increase self-compassion, learn to work with difficult emotions and live healthier, more stable lives. DBT clients learn to lead themselves through whatever difficulties life brings. This evidence-based therapy helps people to better understand their emotions and work with these emotions to feel more grounded in themselves, their relationships and at work. Our clients learn practical tools to become more emotionally regulated, to skillfully manage times of distress and to create longer lasting and deeper relationships.
Distress Tolerance skills help individuals to cope with painful events and to soften the effects of upsetting circumstances. Instead of learning to avoid stressful situations, DBT helps individuals to accept, find meaning for, and effectively work through difficult situations.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
DBT is a highly researched, evidence-based treatment. Research has shown DBT to be effective in reducing depression, anxiety, worthlessness, low self-esteem, anger, suicidal behavior, self-harm, psychiatric hospitalization, and improving social and global functioning.
The group members form a bond over time as people share how they are bringing skills into their lives. The facilitators hold a safe container for the group, which allows members to feel held and supported.
The group is designed to help members become unstuck from regrets and ruminations from the past and fears and worries about the future.
The skills empower each group member to bring their attention to the present moment, where change is possible.
DBT is most effective when Individual Therapy is paired with DBT Group Therapy. Call us to find out more about how DBT can support you
