My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is connecting the different modules and skills to real-life examples. I find the best benefit in connecting to real-life applications because it makes it easier for clients to connect the skills to their daily routines.
I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when the client actively uses their skills in the moment without thinking about using the skill and can identify better strategies to get through any problems using the different skills.
Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy with different worksheets, reviewing each skill individually.
To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can expect to explore life goals to work toward a life worth living.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Norwalk, CT is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
