Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

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.

How does DBT work?

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.

What is DBT best used for?

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.

What are the 4 pillars of DBT?

The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

Is DBT better than EMDR?

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).

Is DBT conducted in person or online?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in , OH is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many months is DBT?

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.

Every week I dread going to therapy talking about myself, but once I'm talking to Ryan and after my session I'm so much happier and have a brighter outlook for the week ahead than I go into therapy.

My therapist is your best friend and it makes it so easy to open up and share. She's full of insights that seem obvious when she says it but has never been a consideration for you. I am wholly pleased with my experience.

Emerson and I have worked together for several years, he has helped me through some of the biggest challenges in my life and has been excellent at adapting to my specific therapeutic needs over the years. . At this time I can't think of anything that could be improved, except maybe not needing a dozen reminders of my next appointment starting 5 days out from said appointment.

Nick Fulks is phenomenal. I've seen a handful of therapists over the years, and he is by far the best. Not only does he make me feel safe in being vulnerable, but he shares targeted and effective tools for me. I am so grateful to him. Honestly, I'd likely leave Thriveworks if he ever left; he deserves a raise!
